I work where payments, commerce, and everyday operations have to make sense together.
Odomm stands for Opening Doors on Monday Mornings. It's a home for selected work, lessons learned, and ideas that make me curious enough to get started.
Step insideTechnology, economics, incentives, and the work of making things actually function.
A personal record, not a pitch deckThe most interesting challenges rarely belong to one department. My work has often sat between financial institutions, software teams, merchants, hardware, and the people who have to run the system after launch.
Product work across large payment and acquiring ecosystems, including payment terminals, hardware programs, partner APIs, certification, and international rollouts. This has meant navigating institutional requirements as much as designing software.
PARTNER SYSTEMS / TERMINALS / PRODUCT DELIVERYI've worked across acquiring and card issuing products supporting global payment networks and alternative payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, UnionPay, JCB, Diners Club, Interac, Alipay, and SNAP/EBT. My experience spans payment terminals, card programs, gateway and processor integrations, merchant onboarding, network certifications, tokenization, risk and compliance, settlement, and the operational requirements of bringing payment products to market.
CARD ACQUIRING / CARD ISSUING / GLOBAL PAYMENT NETWORKSI've also contributed to card issuing programs in Canada and Germany, working across card-program design, financial product infrastructure, partner coordination, and regulated financial ecosystems. The organizations and counterparties involved aren't named here.
CARD ISSUING / FINANCIAL PRODUCTS / PARTNER COORDINATIONIn a very different part of my life, I've supported well-known social media influencers, musicians, and artists with creative direction and commercial initiatives. Working with people whose craft is their business has taught me different ways to think about ideas, audiences, and execution.
CREATIVE DIRECTION / MUSIC & ART / CULTUREPrivacy is a fundamental part of how I work. Some engagements involve private relationships, sensitive commercial arrangements, or confidential products. The descriptions above are intentionally high level; relevant details and references can be provided where appropriate under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Support, configuration, reconciliation, testing, and exceptions belong in the scope too.
An order, payment, retry, credit, and delivery can each be correct and still fail together.
Clear controls and recoverable mistakes matter as much as a good first transaction.
I spend a fair amount of time considering ideas that don't fit a conventional roadmap. Some could become businesses. Others are interesting because of what they reveal about incentives and constraints.
I'm exploring payment continuity: ways to make recurring consumer obligations more reliable, even when the timing of cash flow doesn't cooperate. The difficult questions are underwriting, economics, and responsibility.
What happens when software and AI take on much of the coordination, administration, and routine decision-making inside a business? I'm interested in lean organizations that don't become fragile as they grow.
Whether memberships, services, or other revenue models can support products sold at or near their underlying cost.
Alternative financing structures that let groups pool capital and share in pathways to home ownership.
Decentralized transportation capacity, lower-cost logistics networks, and autonomous ocean transport. The operating economics interest me as much as the technology.
How mobile commerce experiences can sit on existing ordering, catalog, and subscription infrastructure rather than duplicate it.
These are questions and explorations, not announcements of products already in market.
Much of my professional experience has been rooted in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Increasingly, I'd like more of my time and attention to go elsewhere.
I'm interested in building, investing, learning, and collaborating in places where the assumptions behind familiar business models don't always hold.
Payment habits, trust, capital access, infrastructure, regulations, and consumer behavior vary enormously within and between countries. That specificity is what makes the work worth doing.
This is a direction I'm moving toward, not a claim to have already built in every region. I'm more interested in understanding local realities and collaborating with people who know them than reproducing a model designed somewhere else.
Travel, trade, events, music, and people are not side notes to how I think. They've given me a different education in why people do what they do.
I've travelled to more than 62 countries. It remains one of the better ways I know to challenge assumptions about economics, culture, institutions, and daily life.
I built an import business around Ethiopian spices. Sourcing, shipping, margins, and finding customers have a way of making business theory very concrete.
I've organized and promoted events across multiple cities. It's work that teaches you a lot about audiences, logistics, partnerships, and the value of showing up.
I'm interested in how people, incentives, capital, and institutions shape what becomes possible. Some of that curiosity has taken me into finance and software; some of it has led to completely different rooms.
