Top SchoolAengus Bates is an IT operations and technical product leader with 11 years of experience guiding payments, API and developer-experience initiatives across public and private sectors. He combines a developer’s background — having shipped client and web collaboration apps at Cisco — with product leadership roles that scaled financial systems and transformed monoliths into platform ecosystems at Benevity. Aengus has driven measurable outcomes such as a 30% reduction in checkout attrition, enterprise ERP integrations for global reconciliation, and commercial Payment API launches with partners like Microsoft and Mastercard. Now leading secure, mission-critical communications at the Government of Canada, he blends operational rigor with a knack for productizing APIs that enable third-party developer growth.
