About Kevin

My work sits where software architecture, mobile application security, fintech cybersecurity, DevSecOps and quality assurance meet. I help organisations design, build, test, secure and scale software that people trust with their money and data.

I also run Roots Data, where I lead product development across data, analytics and software platforms — partnering with banks, technology startups, government organisations and engineering teams.

Beyond client work, I build AI-assisted products and civic-tech platforms, and I stay deep in the security research that keeps the practice sharp: threat modelling, AI security and incident response.

  • 10+ Years of Experience
  • CISSP Certified
  • Full Stack: Web, Mobile & Cloud
  • Clients Worldwide

A decade building digital systems where failure is not an option: mobile banking, payments, cloud platforms and APIs.

Why me?

How I work

I take a security-first approach to every build. Every detail earns its place. I practice what I ship. Here's how.

(1/4)

Security from day one

Threat models before features, secure SDLC in the pipeline and CISSP-grade risk thinking from the first commit — not a pre-launch audit.

(2/4)

Systems that survive

Mobile banking and payments don't get a second chance. I design for fraud, scale and failure so your users never notice them.

(3/4)

Quality as evidence

Every release ships behind risk-based test plans and automation pipelines. Quality isn't a feeling here — it's a report your team can read.

(4/4)

Straight talk, real partnership

Clear guidance without jargon and no unnecessary complexity — just practical decisions that move the work forward.
