In a highly competitive market, financial services organizations and fintech companies face the challenge of evolving their technologies while maintaining a robust, secure, and compliant infrastructure. The role of open source software has become increasingly pivotal. At this exciting intersection of collaboration and regulation adherence, I have decided to join the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS) as a Field CTO. This move is not just a career transition for me, it is a commitment to shaping the future of finance through the power of open source.
