Hasnain Bukhari is a founder and senior software leader based in London with 12 years building backend systems and product-led fintech. He was the first backend engineer at Lightyear and later led product, driving 7x AUM growth in 2023 and launching high-impact features like interest-on-uninvested-cash and stock transfers that generated tens of millions in inflows. Prior roles include building brokerage platforms at Revolut and liquidity and risk systems at Wise, giving him deep expertise in financial infrastructure and execution under regulatory constraints. He co-founded two startups, shipping consumer fintech features (round-up savings, habit-forming challenges) early in the PSD2 era, and now leads a stealth startup. Known for combining hands-on engineering with GTM and product strategy, he thrives on ambiguous problems and rapid experimentation. Outside the obvious metrics, he has a knack for turning regulatory and market shifts into product-led growth opportunities.
