Pooya Golchian
Forward-Deployed Engineer
AI Transformation for Fintech, Payments & BNPL
I turn AI into shipped operating capability for regulated fintech, payments, and BNPL. Not slideware. Not pilots.
As a forward-deployed engineer, I embed inside the customer's environment and own the full arc, from discovery and integration through production build and operations. I work with everyone from line analysts to CTOs. I wire into real APIs, data pipelines, SSO, SAML, OAuth, legacy systems, and compliance. Then I stay on the problem with radical ownership until the system runs reliably, measurably, and safely.
