Things I've built
The products and platforms behind the timeline — the systems that carried the numbers.
My Private Ledger
B2B fintech SaaS letting social-media agencies consolidate financial management — open banking, crypto/blockchain, multi-entity accounting. Built from zero with one co-founder.
MasterCard CFR
Consumer Fraud Risk — the first-of-its-kind AI that stops bank-transfer (APP) scams before money leaves the account, for 11 of Britain's biggest banks.

Storable Data Platform
Medallion-architecture data platform built from scratch (DMS → modern ELT), plus a CloudFormation→Terraform migration and one-click production releases.
AI Incident Agent
An AI-powered incident-management agent that leverages historical incident data to cut mean-time-to-resolution and eliminate re-investigating solved issues.
