About

I build products that sit at the intersection of complex financial systems and modern technology and I've spent over a decade doing it across core banking, lending, collections, and enterprise cloud. My most recent work at Commonwealth Bank: I conceived and launched an agentic AI product that autonomously assesses legacy application portfolios, recommends migration pathways, and guides engineering execution. Before this product existed, this process was manual, slow, and inconsistent. We changed that. Before CBA, I spent years at FICO implementing collections and recovery systems across APAC, EMEA, and North America. And before that, at Intellect Design Arena, building core banking APIs and LOS/LMS products for 26 financial institutions globally. What I bring that's unusual: I understand the domain deeply enough to challenge the engineering trade-offs, and I understand the technology well enough to build products engineers respect. If you're building something serious in fintech, lending, AI-powered automation, or cloud-native platforms, let's talk!
