Pete is CTO at Railsbank - enabling fintech companies to access global banking with 5 lines of code, and driving the costs out of finance infrastructure so finance can be more inclusive and less abusive.
What makes Pete tick is working with teams to discover and build the technology a business really needs. He's passionate about using collaborative approaches, and believes in the power of examples to give all relevant experts direct involvement in the software under development.
Pete is active in the Agile/BDD community, speaking at meet-ups and conferences such as DDDX, BDDX and CukeUp. He co-authored SkillsMatter’s BDD Fast Track training course with Jenny Martin, and delivers this regularly.
