Finance first.
Technology as leverage.
I work at the intersection of finance, business performance and technology — building practical ways to understand performance, identify risk earlier and support better decisions.
Areas I work on
Finance that explains performance, anticipates risk and supports decisions.
01
FP&A & Performance
Forecasts, budgets and performance reviews that explain what is driving results — not only what the numbers are.
02
Commercial Finance
Pricing, contracts and commercial terms assessed for their real effect on margin, cash and risk.
03
Project Profitability & Risk
Earlier visibility of margin erosion, cost overruns and cash exposure — while there is still time to act.
04
Digital Finance & AI
Automation, analytics and AI applied where they make finance faster, more reliable and more useful to management.
Selected projects
A portfolio of finance systems — each built around a different management problem.

Project 01
Available
BidIQ
Contract & Commercial Risk Intelligence
Business problem
Tender and contract obligations, risks and exposures are often reviewed late, inconsistently, or without a commercial finance lens.
What it does
Analyses tender and contract documents and provides source-grounded findings for commercial and management review.
Management question
“What are we committing to — and where is the commercial risk?”
Commercial Finance
Project 02
In development
Profit Leakage Intelligence
Margin Root-Cause Analysis
Business problem
Actual profitability falls below expectation, but the drivers — pricing, labour, materials, subcontracting, rework, overruns — stay hidden in aggregate results.
What it does
Analyses financial and project data to locate where margin is leaking and explain the underlying drivers.
Management question
“Where are we losing margin — and where should we intervene?”
FP&A / Performance
Project 03
In development
Project Early Warning System
Project Performance & Risk Intelligence
Business problem
Project deterioration usually becomes visible in financial results only after the opportunity to intervene has passed.
What it does
Brings forecast margin, EAC, cost and schedule performance, commitments, variations and cash signals together to flag deterioration early.
Management question
“Which projects are deteriorating, why — and who owns the action?”
Project Finance
Project 04
Case study in preparation
Air Ticket Automation
Policy-Driven Finance Automation
Business problem
Employee air-ticket entitlements depend on policy rules, classifications and eligibility periods — and manual calculation is slow and error-prone.
What it does
Turns entitlement policy into controlled business rules: automated calculation, validation, exception handling and finance-ready output.
Management question
“Is every entitlement calculated correctly, consistently and in line with policy?”
Finance Automation
How I think
Finance should not stop at telling management what happened.
Reporting describes the past. Decision support connects what the numbers show to why it is happening, what it costs, and who needs to act — early enough to change the outcome.
- What changed?
- Why?
- What is the financial impact?
- What could happen next?
- What action is required?
- Data Financial and operational facts, structured and reliable.
- Signal The movement that matters, separated from noise.
- Diagnosis The operational cause behind the financial result.
- Financial impact What it means for margin, cash and forecast.
- Owner Who is accountable for the response.
- Action A decision taken while the outcome can still change.
About
A finance professional who builds.
My background is in finance, commercial analysis, project performance and management reporting. Over more than twenty years, technology became an extension of that work — using data, automation and AI to improve how finance identifies problems and supports decisions.
The projects on this site are where that thinking is made practical: tools built around real management questions, with the finance logic first and the technology in service of it.
