Over 30 years in IT from hardware though C, C++, Java to enterprise architecture. Lived all over the world from the Far East, though Europe to the US. Co-founded Century 24 (C24) with 3 others in 2000, specialising in investment banking integration, predominately SWIFT, FpML and ISO-20022. We sold C24 to Iona Technologies (NASDAQ:IONA) in 2007, Iona was then sold to Progress Software in 2008, we bought C24 back in April 2011. In June 2014 we released a new product "SDOs", a binary binding code-generator for Java that provides an order of magnitude performance improvement in large scale Java system specifically around in-memory caching. My expertise is large scale and high performance architectures, enterprise to global. I've run the trading systems at Paribas, headed up global architecture at BNP Paribas, global head of architecture at JP Morgan Chase and chief architect on Visa's V.me (now Visa checkout) in the innovation team. I am a regular speaker at Java and banking conferences around the world, QCon, JavaOne, Devoxx, JAX etc. I live in London but travel a lot, typically to the US every few weeks (mostly NY and San Francisco), Tokyo every 4-6 weeks, Europe almost every other week and the Middle and Far East and occasionally. I have 3 wonderful sons (Luc 16, James 13 and Pierre 11) and a gorgeous French wife who all make it worthwhile.
