I used to run bits of a bank. Now I make things on the internet.
I spent ten years in Bank of America Fixed Income, eventually as COO for four trading businesses. Then came fintech, startups and, somewhat unexpectedly, writing software myself.
I tend to make things for one of two reasons: something keeps annoying me, or I cannot stop wondering whether it could exist.
A train window, some music, and a day/night switch.
Built for the feeling of a long journey home.
A small Python utility created after losing patience with ~/Downloads.
Some are tiny.
Some have an alarming number of Markdown files.
Lately I have been working on software that can do useful work on its own, ways of finding small software businesses worth pursuing, and ways of making the evidence behind those decisions visible rather than hiding it inside a chat or a hunch.
Computer science. An MBA. Banking. Fintech. Operations.
For most of my career, the job was to understand what was really happening before deciding what to change.
