Finance → Applied AI
Experience across credit, AR, revenue operations and financial systems informs my engineering approach: start with the real business constraint, then design for correctness and accountability.
BEYOND THE SYSTEMS / ABOUT KAI
Experience across North America and Europe informs a practical approach to applied AI and finance automation. The work combines financial operations expertise, workflow engineering and systems design to improve efficiency, strengthen controls and support accountable business decisions.
My experience with US technology and data companies includes a finance analyst contract with Meta (Facebook), where I supported network investments across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. I analysed credit risk at Dun & Bradstreet and built AI workflows for billing investigations and approval routing at Deel. At Champion Petfoods, I also managed credit for US customer accounts as part of a global portfolio.
My journey across countries, industries and disciplines has taught me to listen carefully, adapt quickly and take responsibility for the work I put into the world. Family remains at the heart of that commitment. I want my children to see that curiosity, perseverance and integrity matter as much as technical ability.

First-class honours in Business Management with an Accounting major, complemented by ongoing applied study in AI engineering, automation and systems design.
During my former employment at Deel, my work included collaboration with Phil Limmer on AKAI and the development of agentic finance workflows. I value rigorous feedback, shared learning and practical outcomes.
FAMILY VALUES
Being a dad is a big part of who I am. Family gives meaning to the work I do and reminds me why building a better future matters.
