About

Hey, I'm Patrick — a product and engineering leader. Today I'm a First Vice President in FinTech at China Construction Bank (Asia) in Hong Kong, focused on fintech infrastructure-as-a-service.

Before that I was Head of Engineering at Trellis Technologies, and Chief Technology Officer at Protecht, where I worked on embedded insurance and distribution. I've spent most of my career building products and the teams behind them — from early-stage startups to a global bank.

I write here about the creation-first frontier of AI, fintech, and the craft of building things.
