Summary
Bryan Vaz is a serial founder and engineer with 10 years of experience building fintech and commerce platforms, currently leading Keyblade, a zero-code one-click checkout startup. He previously founded The Fintech Cloud and led engineering and product at PremiaLab, combining deep domain knowledge in capital markets with practical experience in infrastructure and enterprise architecture. Bryan’s background spans consulting and hands-on roles at firms like KPMG, CGI, and Scotiabank, where he drove digital transformations, trading systems, and performance engineering. He has a track record of turning complex financial workflows into developer-friendly platforms and has delivered a successful exit as a founder. Based in Old Toronto, he blends growth-minded leadership with a coder’s attention to detail—often designing turnkey integrations that let customers focus on product rather than plumbing. Quietly, he pairs an ECE degree from Waterloo with a habit of obsessing over architecture diagrams and automations that reduce operational friction.
