About

Finance professional and builder working at the edge of finance, payments, and AI. I build payment infrastructure, financial models, and the automation that ties them together.

A growth arc: Finance Manager → Senior Finance Manager → Product Manager (AI) → PSP Development & Analytics. From pure finance through AI product to payment infrastructure.

Domains: fintech, iGaming, AdTech, crypto. I work the numbers and the money flow alike — from unit economics and financial models to payment routing, chargebacks, and crypto settlement.
