Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Burns is a seasoned technical architect and internet pioneer with over 25 years leading fast-growth technology businesses and eight years of recent hands-on experience building cloud-native FinTech platforms. He has a rare mix of CTO-level strategy and deep engineering skills, having architected e-payments, invoice trading and digital marketing systems entirely in the cloud using Agile practices. As Chief Technical Architect and former CTO of PeerPay and RedEye, he has repeatedly turned complex financial and networking problems into production-ready, API-driven services. A recognised speaker on cloud adoption, he presented PeerPay’s invoice trading platform at Oracle Cloud Days in 2016, demonstrating practical cloud-first delivery at scale. Based in the UK and educated in computation at Manchester, he combines long-term industry perspective with current cloud and Agile evangelism. Notably, his career stretches back to pioneering roles in computer networking and e-commerce well before those fields became mainstream, giving him uncommon historical insight into today’s digital payments landscape.
