I have been in the fintech industry for the past 15 years. My career began as a Software Tester, a role I held for six months before transitioning into C++ development at a fintech firm, where I spent three years writing software for the Corporate Lending business.
I then moved on to one of Australia's top 10 banking firms, where I held multiple roles over the years. I started as a Change and Release Manager for two years, followed by a year as an Environments Manager, and then spent three years as a DevOps Analyst.
After my time in the banking sector, I joined one of the largest fintech software firms as an Expert Technical Consultant, delivering solutions for Tier 1 clients globally. I currently serve as the Head of Innovation and Development Services, where I lead a core team of 10 developers while collaborating with L2 technical consultants to manage delivery and day-to-day operations for our clients.
Beyond my professional career, I am actively involved in crypto trading, focusing on the Solana blockchain. I trade various assets, including stablecoins, memecoins, and mid-cap coins, while also collecting NFTs and engaging in the DeFi community on Twitter. I have been in the crypto space since 2018, though I first held Bitcoin as early as 2014 (but sold too early!).
Why did the crypto whale go to therapy? Because every time they tried to open up… they got dumped on!
