Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeil Mackenzie is a founder and seasoned regtech software engineer with 8 years of focused experience building vendor-neutral, open-source tooling for the ECB's BIRD regulatory data model. As Project Lead of Eclipse Free BIRD Tools and creator of PyBIRDAI, he combines deep domain knowledge of banking regulations (FRTB, COREP, EMIR) with practical engineering—leveraging Python/Django and AI-compatible workflows to make BIRD artifacts executable and machine-reasonable. He has led integrations that translate proprietary regulatory models into BIRD, and spent six years collaborating directly in the ECB’s prototyping workstream, giving him rare insight into both regulator intent and implementation trade-offs. Comfortable moving between technical specification, UML/data modelling, and hands-on development, he also curates AI prompts and transformation patterns to automate reasoning over regulatory text—an unusual bridge between compliance and applied AI. Based in London, he blends entrepreneurial drive with institutional banking experience to deliver auditable, production-ready regtech solutions.
