I work as Co-CTO at IDT. I lead architecture on financial systems and I stay in the design myself.
I have been writing software for 12 years in financial services: payments, fraud, identity, and auth, and orchestrating those processes across services.
Building distributed systems is the through-line. Many of them, on AWS and on-prem.
A private cloud at enterprise scale. Driving event-driven architecture. Teaching teams infrastructure as code and CI/CD.
Leading AI adoption: showcases, and teaching teams agentic development.

Co-CTO
IDT Oct 2023 - PresentI lead architecture across a few product lines and work with the teams that have to live with the calls. A large part of the current work is moving systems from AWS onto on-prem.
- AWS to on-prem migration, and Kubernetes as the runtime we adopted for that estate
- Leading AI adoption: showcases, and teaching teams agentic development with Claude Code and Cursor
- Step-up authentication for APIs and apps: an existing session can raise its access level after a second factor, instead of treating 2FA as a login-only gate
- Paid subscriptions we sell: the path that creates a plan, changes it, and decides what the caller is allowed to do
- Fraud prevention in Snowflake: features for scoring, which of those features actually moved the metric, backtests, and alerts. Snowflake Anomaly Detection on unusual patterns

Lead Software Engineer
IDT Feb 2019 - Feb 2021Started the remittance rewrite: decompose the monolith, give teams their own services, and stop treating infrastructure as a ticket to SysOps.
- IaC via AWS CDK so scrum teams owned infrastructure changes. 5x increase in change frequency, no more centralized SysOps bottleneck
- Decomposition roadmap for the remittance monolith, and the first services off it
- Replaced synchronous API calls with Kafka
