Founder communities first, then finance, then engineering, payments and AI. Each step is dated and, where a public record exists, linked.

Technical leadership

Four-plus years leading payments teams at Revolut, then AI deployment at Brevan Howard Digital.

Most of my career has been spent between engineers and the people who depend on what they build. These are the two roles that show it best.

2M+
transactions a day through the bank and API integrations I led at Revolut
30%
lower latency on those integrations across the US and EMEA
5M
monthly active users on the P2P payments product I owned in Europe

Revolut

Product Manager, Payments · 2020–2025

Getting engineering and product behind one payments number

I led Revolut's bank and API integrations across the US and EMEA. These are the connections that money moves over, so the work is judged on availability and speed.

The outcome engineering and product worked to was latency. We reduced it by 30% while the integrations carried more than two million transactions a day. I also owned the launch and growth of a peer-to-peer payments product to five million monthly active users across Europe, which raised gross profit per user by 15%.

Brevan Howard Digital

Senior Product Manager · 2025–present

Putting an AI assistant in front of traders and risk managers

I led quant and software engineers in deploying an internal AI assistant that lets people ask questions about trades and P&L in plain language, in place of ad hoc SQL and support requests.

I also scoped self-service agent deployment with platform engineering: how agents reach risk data and tools, how user entitlements carry through, and how every action is audited. In a regulated business, those three questions decide whether an assistant can go live.

Thirteen events, each with the role I actually had.

Getting a startup's first AI workflow into production

How I'd help a small team choose one workflow, test it on thirty real cases, name the failure that blocks launch, and hand the next iteration to someone else.
