The Short Version

I've spent more than twenty years building quantitative risk, regulatory frameworks and enterprise risk-identification processes at some of the world's largest financial institutions — Credit Suisse, Standard Chartered, Zurich Insurance, AIB. I've priced derivatives on a trading floor, validated VaR implementations, traded FX and money markets as a front-office dealer, and run global risk-identification programmes at SVP level.

I'm FRM-certified, hold a B.Sc. in Mathematical Physics from University College Dublin, and have worked across Europe, APAC and the US. I've built the legacy version of the risk function twice. I know exactly what "good" looks like when a regulator walks in.

Why AI Agents Change Everything

In 2024 I began building seriously with AI agents — Claude, GPT, and the tooling ecosystem around them. What I found, as someone who had spent decades watching teams of 10–30 people produce risk documentation, control mapping, regulatory submissions, stress-test scenarios and Board packs, was that most of that work compresses.

Not all of it. The judgement calls — which risks matter, which scenarios are credible, which controls actually work, how to talk to the Board — those stay human, and they stay senior. But the drafting, the mapping, the scanning, the documentation, the first-pass analysis? A senior operator with a well-designed AI-agent stack can do in a week what used to take a team a month.

That's the insight behind EON Risk Services today. Not "AI instead of people," but "one senior operator plus agents instead of a junior team." It works because I've done the legacy version. I know which parts compress safely and which parts don't.

Who I Work With Today

EON delivers global AI-as-a-Service across two tracks. Risk AI for Frontier Finance — fintechs, crypto funds, prop shops, hedge funds, AI-native startups — where firms need regulator-grade risk capability without building a legacy-bank risk team. AI-as-a-Service for SMEs worldwide — practical enterprise-grade AI for small and mid-sized businesses that can't justify a large consultancy price tag.

Every engagement is contract, remote, and led directly by me. No handovers, no offshore subcontractors, no junior teams. Clients in Europe, North America, the Gulf and Asia.

Based Where?

Dublin, Ireland. Serving clients worldwide.
