Following a [10 year career](/content/financial.php?sender=about/index.html) as a financial software engineer and project manager at the investment banks JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, in 2015 I reconsidered:

- The sometimes poor ethics of my employers  
- The pressure I had come under to cut standards  
- The attraction of working with smaller clients

I therefore started XY to leave behind the corporate world and make my services financially accessible to predominantly smaller clients. This is why I purposely price my services at a **reduced rate compared my competition**.

I have a passion for [Agile software development](/content/agile.php?sender=about/index.html), and am committed to using best practices to deliver higher-quality solutions and maximise business value.

I take pride in what I do, and have never been happier in my work.

I have a first class degree in Software Engineering, hold the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) and am a certified Scrum Master (Agile software development).
