Your developers are capable.
Your process is holding them back.

10 yrs · FXCM / Tradu  ·  $300B+ monthly volume  ·  SVP of Tech Program Management

In 8–12 weeks I'll modernize how your team builds software and embed Claude into your workflow — so you ship faster and more predictably, without adding headcount.

If any of this sounds familiar...

Sprints that start with good intentions and collapse into a Slack channel of status updates and missed deadlines by Wednesday

Code reviews exist on paper. In practice, developers merge their own work — nobody has time, and bugs make it to production regularly

You asked your team to start using Claude or Copilot. They opened it once, found it "complicated", and went back to working exactly the same way

No reliable way to know what's blocking delivery until it becomes a crisis — at which point you're already two weeks behind and explaining it to your manager

This is fixable. In 8–12 weeks.

The Engagement

What the next 12 weeks look like

01 / Discovery
Weeks 1–2

SDLC Audit

I interview your team, map your current development process, and identify the three or four things causing most of the chaos. No assumptions — just observation.

Written audit with prioritised, actionable fixes
02 / Implementation
Month 1–2

Scrum Transformation

We implement a working Scrum process — sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, mandatory code review gates — one your team actually follows because it makes their work easier, not harder.

Running sprints, PR gates in CI/CD, team trained and self-sufficient
03 / Embedding
Month 2–3

Claude Integration

We wire Claude into your workflow: automated PR reviews, quality gates at every merge, documentation generation, test coverage checks. Not as a one-off experiment — as a permanent, owned process.

Claude reviewing every PR automatically. Your team owns it after I leave

For ten years I ran technology programs at FXCM and Tradu — one of the world's largest retail forex brokers. I've delivered trading platforms used by hundreds of thousands of active traders, managed multi-vendor integrations worth millions, and grown internally from customer service to SVP of Technology Program Management.

I consult because the gap between how most companies build software and how it can be built — especially with modern AI tooling — is enormous. Closing that gap in 8–12 weeks is very achievable with the right guidance.

Proof of tooling

I build with the tools I teach

Every project below was built entirely using Claude Code and Agentic AI — not assisted, built. If I'm going to help your team adopt these tools, I need to stay sharp with them myself.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Trusted by the people I've worked with

I worked closely with Joseph for years — he's one of the sharpest minds I've known. From Team Captain to SVP of Technology & Program Management, his rapid rise showcases exceptional leadership. Coming from sales, he progressed brilliantly in software development, architecting robust infrastructure with smart workarounds and no technical debt. His training and mentorship elevate entire teams. Always eager to learn and critically evaluate new practices, he brings innovative solutions that drive real results. A true leader and standout talent.

Joseph is without doubt one of the most knowledgeable people I've worked with, across pretty much any topic. He took me from the sales team and into his team — something that very likely changed the entire trajectory of my career. He consistently went out of his way to pass on knowledge, not just to his direct reports, but across the wider company. Extremely proactive — always learning, always curious, always trying to apply what he learns to make everyone's job easier. His progression from Customer Service Representative all the way to SVP of Technology at FXCM / Tradu really speaks for itself.

I worked with Joseph on delivering a technical program at FXCM where he was the technical program manager. He has solid business knowledge of the trading flow front to back, as well as the technical knowledge to challenge architectural decisions and delivery timelines. An all-round programme manager that is able to get the best out of the delivery team.
