About
I’ve spent nearly thirty years as a hands-on software engineer and architect building for UK financial services: wealth and asset management platforms, in domains where the regulator eventually asks what you did and why.
I co-founded Wealth Dynamix in 2012 and spent six years as CTO while it grew to over one hundred people. Later I started Portemis, where I architected a new product that was eventually acquired by Wealth Dynamix. I rejoined as senior architect to take technical ownership of it: architecture, Azure, DevOps, reliability, observability and the messy cross-cutting problems that don’t fit neatly into anyone else’s box. Wealth Dynamix itself was later acquired by a major European investment bank in 2025.
