I’ve spent the last 14+ years building products in FinTech, payments, APIs, and platform infrastructure. My work has ranged from payment processing and card networks to real-time data platforms and Open Banking. I’ve always been drawn to complicated problems where product, technology, and systems have to come together.
But I’ve always enjoyed the building and problem-solving part of product work more than writing code itself. I started my career as a developer, and that background has stayed with me even as my career moved toward product leadership.
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with AI as a development partner. Instead of spending days writing code, I focus on the idea, the decisions, and testing whether it’s any good; the AI handles most of the implementation.
This blog is where I document that, project by project — what I built, what actually happened building it, and what I’m still figuring out.
