Technical capabilities spanning AI, risk management, and leadership built over 30+ years
Currently deepening expertise in AI systems through hands-on building. Focus on understanding models from first principles rather than just using APIs—including building transformers from scratch and deploying production AI infrastructure.
Strong foundation in system design, data architecture, and software development. Experience ranges from building 8-bit computers to designing enterprise-scale risk management systems.
Proven track record leading large-scale transformations at global financial institutions. Experience managing 300+ person teams across multiple time zones, navigating complex organizational dynamics, and delivering strategic initiatives.
Deep expertise in financial services risk management developed over three decades at institutions including Deutsche Bank, Barclays, and ICBC Standard Bank. Extensive experience with regulatory frameworks, trading systems, and risk infrastructure.
What makes my skill set unique is the combination: deep domain expertise in risk management, proven leadership at scale, and hands-on technical capability in AI. I can speak the language of both business and technology, understanding the real problems that need solving and how to build solutions from first principles.
