Andy’s background is building cloud, AI and high performance computing in investment banking. He was instrumental in setting the cloud strategy in Barclays Capital, and led an AI initiative to optimise overnight risk calculations, which saved 30% of the total compute grid time, worth millions in costs. Due to the banking industries reluctance to use open source, Andy is one of the few individuals who has built cloud technologies from the ground up and this skill set brings huge advantage to Kortical’s technology, where we are able to combine cloud and cutting edge AI on a fundamental level. Andy oversees Kortical’s product development and ensures that the technology is delivered to the very highest standard and using best in class process and tooling. Andy also has deep experience delivering solutions to the extremely high SLA’s required in business critical systems for financial institutions and brings all this best practice to the Kortical delivery ethos.
