About

Enterprise data and APIs that machines can act on, in businesses that have to answer for the result.

London-based product leader. Two decades building data platforms and APIs inside large financial institutions. I now focus on a narrower problem: turning governed enterprise data into something machines can reliably act on, without the firm losing the ability to control, reconstruct and explain what happened afterwards.

The model is only one part of the system. The harder enterprise problem is the substrate around it: data, interfaces, permissions, controls and evidence.

Head of the Bloomberg Data License API Platform. Own the direction and delivery across multiple engineering teams for the API powering Bloomberg's flagship enterprise data product, serving multi-million monthly request volumes across thousands of institutional clients.

Selected work

• Tax Policy Navigator · a case study in making a generative answer trustworthy enough to act on: grounding, evaluation, and refusal in a regulated domain.
• The record nobody agreed to keep · when a machine acts on a client account, every layer defers the accountability record to the layer next door, and the chain closes on nobody.
• Agent-ready financial data · the architecture that gives an enterprise agent context it can be trusted to act on.
• Mathematics · a personal imprint of books and OlympiadHQ, a free olympiad-maths platform for teenagers. Where the taste for rigour comes from.
