Product, technology and delivery

At We Build Products, we build our own products and software for customers in financial services.

Products at WBP

Regfiler is our live regulatory filing service, where I lead product and engineering.

Before Regfiler, we shipped a direct-to-consumer product that reached 600+ customers and 50+ five-star reviews.

Security and accountability

I built an AML/KYC platform for a European financial institution. Our wider recent experience covers onboarding, fund reporting and risk methodologies.

Regfiler handles FATCA/CRS filing and is approved as a BZSt Datensender. WBP is ISO 27001 certified; I own the information security management system.

That work draws on experience with financial regulation, GDPR, information security and audit requirements at financial institutions.
