I'll be honest. I didn't plan to end up in Fintech.

I planned to build things. Turns out Fintech is where the hard things live. Payments that have to clear. KYC that can't be wrong. Fraud systems that don't get second chances. Deadlines that don't care that your best engineer just quit on a Tuesday.

So here I am. Twelve years later. Still building.


I'm Usman Head of Product at InvoZone. We've shipped 1,200+ products over the years. 60+ of them in Fintech, which means I've seen the inside of more payments architectures, KYC pipelines, and fraud detection systems than any one person probably should.

Payments infrastructure. Digital banking. Lending platforms. KYC & compliance. Fraud detection.

Not "familiar with." Not "adjacent to." Actually inside it with the edge cases, the regulator surprises, and the 11pm Slack messages asking why reconciliation broke.


Some outcomes from projects I've worked on:

- Reduced a cross-border payments deal cycle by 62%.
- Improved payment processing speed by 5×.
- Cut manual work in KYC and claims by 50%.
- Helped teams quickly onboard senior payments engineers.
- Supported startups through growth, including $5M+ fundraising.

I work with founders who are:

- Scaling with small engineering teams.
- Preparing for enterprise customers.
- Fixing technical bottlenecks that slow execution.
- Building systems that can support the next stage of growth.
