About
Most technology projects that go over budget don't have a technology problem. Someone made a political decision, nobody pushed back, and six months later everyone's wondering where the money went. I've seen it happen at large institutions and small companies alike.
I've spent 14+ years in banking, payments, and financial services, across both public institutions and private companies. I've built systems, led teams, and sat close enough to the business side to know that if technology doesn't serve a clear, measurable purpose, it's just buzzwords on a slide deck.
I measure things. Not in a micromanagement way, but because you can't fix what you can't see. When the state of a system or a team is visible, good decisions happen. When it's not, people guess. Guessing gets expensive.
Sometimes the answer is better architecture. Sometimes it's a hard conversation. Sometimes you just have to put your head down and grind through it. I'm comfortable with all three.
