At Citi — Hands-on architect for FX Options eTrading platforms (VOLT, Velocity Options). I design system architecture for new strategic initiatives, build FIX protocol integrations and real-time market data pipelines, and still write code daily. I also run AI workshops to help engineering teams adopt AI coding agents effectively and responsibly.
Previously — Engineering/Delivery Lead at Schroders (APAC cloud migration, Front Office Data & Reporting), Technical Lead (AVP) at Barclays Capital (Legal Technology), Sr. Full Stack Engineer at Ayondo/TradeHero (real-time trading platforms).
Open source — I build and maintain developer tools under the Civyk brand:
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| WinWright | Windows automation server for MCP. ~59 consolidated tools for desktop (WPF, WinForms, Win32), browser (Chrome/Edge via CDP), and system management. Describe tests in plain English — the AI agent does the rest. Scripts replay deterministically without AI/LLM costs. Self-healing selectors auto-repair when UI changes. |
| RepoIx | Semantic code intelligence for AI coding agents via MCP. 14 consolidated tools — symbol search with sub-2ms latency, AI context cache that persists understanding across sessions (80-90% token savings), conversation history, and token-budgeted context packs. 100% offline, no cloud, no telemetry. |
| Hatch | AI-powered spec-driven development CLI. Structures AI-assisted software building: constitution, spec, plan, tasks, implement — with auto-resume after context limits. Includes reverse engineering for legacy modernization, DeepWiki documentation generation, and corporate guidelines extraction. Supports 12+ AI agents. |
