Senior🎓
Top SchoolIain Porter is a Senior Consulting Engineer based in London with 13 years of experience building complex, regulated financial and payments systems. He has led backend and architecture teams from enterprise integration projects with global banks to founding a payments platform at Velo Payments, shaping roadmaps, mentoring engineers, and shipping event-driven microservices in Kotlin/Quarkus with Kafka and Postgres on AWS/GCP. His background spans message transformation standards (SWIFT, FIX, ISO) and large-scale reconciliation and cash management engines, giving him deep domain expertise in financial rails, Open Banking and FX. Iain excels at turning legacy, licensed systems into cloud-native, cost-efficient architectures and has repeatedly bridged product, QA, devops and UI teams to deliver end-to-end solutions. He combines hands-on coding with strategic leadership—recruiting and growing teams organically—and has led cross-border projects for clients including Visa, BBC and major banks. An engineer who pairs rigorous technical depth with practical delivery, he often surfaces pragmatic integration patterns that reduce operational risk in regulated environments.
