Fintech backoffice
The screens nobody demos: onboarding queues, ledgers, reconciliation, servicing, and the reporting an auditor asks for. Unglamorous, and the part that decides whether the front end works.
./career
Work history. The day job.

Client work
Need fintech that survives auditors?
Fintech backoffice systems: loan ops, payment flows, and ECSP licence delivery. Laravel work, plus fractional CISO for when the audit calendar looks ominous.
Niche expertise
Backoffice, loan ops, ECSP.
Loan ops & payments
Direct debit, batch payments, PSP integrations, recurring collections, loan administration. Software that moves real money without making you famous on Twitter for the wrong reason.
ECSP licences
Two crowdfunding licences delivered (Mogelijk, Briqwise), a third with the FSMA in Belgium underway. Regulation turned into forms, APIs, and backoffice flows you can actually use. No failed audits yet. DORA and NIS2 come with the territory.
