Twenty-six years designing and delivering enterprise banking platforms across Europe and Asia — lending, credit origination, KYC/AML. Now paired with a production agentic AI specialization I've built and run with my own hands.
Lead Solution Architect with 26 years in banking technology across Europe and Asia. My domain is regulated finance: KYC/AML, customer due diligence, corporate and private lending, credit origination and risk, digital onboarding, client lifecycle management. My platforms are PEGA, where I founded Swedbank's Centre of Excellence, and Appian, where I currently architect Länsförsäkringar Bank's lending transformation.
What makes this profile uncommon in 2026: I have independently designed, deployed, and operate a production multi-agent AI system running 24/7 on self-managed infrastructure. Not an experiment. Not a weekend project. Working production code that I wrote, secured, and run every day. Banks and consultancies are hiring for AI transformation leadership and most senior architects can only talk about it. I build it.
This is not a departure from banking architecture but an addition to it: 26 years of regulated, enterprise-scale delivery combined with hands-on, production-grade agentic AI — the profile banks and consultancies are building AI transformation teams around in 2026.
Designed, built, and operated solo since 2025. A five-agent multi-tier system running 24/7 on self-managed infrastructure, with a hardened Telegram gateway, cross-provider LLM fallback, and an autonomous closed-loop upgrade pipeline that completed its first live production upgrade in May 2026. The architecture banks need for vendor-independent agentic AI adoption.
Eighteen layers of control - token isolation, signed-message verification, replay defence, rate limits, and an audit trail. The same hardening pattern bank procurement committees ask architects to apply to third-party chat channels.
