What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical/product roles in cards or payments where I can lead migrations, mentor teams, and deliver secure, compliant end-to-end solutions.

I am a results-driven Cards & Payments specialist with over 11.8 years of end-to-end experience across Issuing and Acquiring, focused on designing scalable card solutions, executing platform migrations, and resolving critical production issues. I have led functional and technical teams, supported Fiserv VisionPLUS platforms across Australia, USA and LATAM, and delivered migration plans, interface specifications, and production fixes.

I combine hands-on mainframe and VisionPLUS development experience with functional delivery skills — running requirement workshops, coordinating Dev, SIT/UAT, mentoring teams, and ensuring PCI/PA-DSS compliance. Contributed significant value to Debit, Credit, and Prepaid cards in both Issuing and Acquiring platforms. Gained prominent experience in cards lifecycle, transaction life cycle, e-commerce, ATM, POS, Wallets, Authorizations (ISO8583), Cryptography, Tokenization, PCI-DSS.
