What I've Built
Solo Project
A compliance management platform built for SMEs with 10–200 employees. Audexed handles policy lifecycles, maps controls to regulatory frameworks, and prepares organisations for audits, replacing manual processes with purpose-built software.
View Project →Enterprise compliance tools cost £50k+ annually. SMEs had nothing purpose-built, so I designed and engineered Audexed from scratch to fill the gap.
Capabilities
Stack
Architecture
Multi-tenant with role-based access control, RESTful APIs
Background
CISI-qualified, I've spent considerable time researching and understanding complex frameworks including MiCA, the FATF Travel Rule, and global AML/KYC requirements for digital asset businesses.
I also built Audexed, a full-stack compliance management platform, after recognising that tooling for smaller companies barely exists. I designed and engineered it from scratch to solve the problem.
Whether researching compliance frameworks, analysing regulatory developments, or building purpose-built software, I bring the same rigour to everything I work on.
