Professional

I am a finance and technology leader with extensive FinTech, blockchain, cyber security and international banking experience. I have a proven track record of scaling businesses and leading teams to successful execution of high-quality, production ready technology products.

In mid-2023 I sold my last venture through private sale. RT Reporting, which I co-founded with my brother was a cloud-based advisory and financial forecasting product for accountants and virtual CFOs. I led the technology build out and the development of the product and IP.

I have held various engineering and technical leadership roles, primarily focused on digital transformation, blockchain, AI integration, FinTech and data solutions.

My international banking and finance experience spans more half a decade across Australia and New York with ANZ Bank and later Hong Kong with the Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation. During this time I worked across financial institutions coverage, including: funds, hedge funds, banks, public sector and insurers.


Background

Born in Melbourne, Australia, I was fascinated by the world, languages and technology from a young age. As a young kid I would listen to the BBC World Service on radio late into the night, a habit I've never kicked although these days its podcasts and books.

My first computer ran a Pentium III 733mhz processor and introduced me to the world of technology, gaming and programming. While I spent my 20's studying and working in international finance, I finally came full circle in 2018 when I left banking and turned my life long passion for tech into my profession.

Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I enjoy exploring, hiking, motorcycling, travelling and discovering new places. I have a passion for languages and culture. I am fluent in German, and conversant in Mandarin and Spanish.

I have been blessed to live all around the world, including Germany/Austria, China/HK, Thailand and spend significant stints in the USA, Spain, Malaysia and Mexico.
