Hello, I’m Vinod.
I have spent 25 years building payment rails, mobile money and identity systems across Africa and Southeast Asia, most of that time as Group CTO. Today my work sits where AI meets regulated money: eKYC, AML, and agentic AI that a bank can actually trust in production.
If something on this blog was useful to you, or you are working on a problem in this space, I would like to hear from you.
Reach me for
Advisory and consulting. Fintech architecture, AML and eKYC systems, AI in regulated environments, and platform replatforming or turnarounds. Short focused engagements or longer ones.
Speaking and panels. Conferences, boardrooms and closed-door sessions. I talk about what really happens when AI meets a payment switch, not the brochure version.
Writing and media. Interviews, podcasts, guest articles, and comment on fintech and AI.

Outside work
Take away the technology and there is still physics, quant finance, photography and mathematics. Physics is my compass for truth, quant finance is where I play, photography is how I slow down and look at light, and mathematics is the language under all of it. These are not hobbies. They are how I see everything else.
