AI Specialist & Enterprise Architect — Financial Services & Payments
25+ years in payments Founder, Hawk Nest

Profile

I help banks, payment networks and regulated enterprises adopt AI without breaking what already works.

After 25+ years building and architecting mission-critical payment systems — the kind that can't go down, can't leak data, and can't fail an audit — I now spend most of my time at the intersection of AI and enterprise architecture, turning GenAI from slide-deck promise into governed, production-grade outcomes.

Available for fractional and advisory engagements through Hawk Nest.
