Alphanso Walker — Co-Founder
I bridge the gap between engineering, data and strategy: deciding which AI and software projects are worth building, and how to make them scale. I am a Principal in AI and engineering strategy (software and AI engineer by training), acting as both architect and strategist for organisations that need to cut through AI and software hype. My focus is not only on whether a system can be built, but whether it deserves to be: will it deliver measurable value and scale efficiently? With a dual foundation in Computer Science and Analytics and experience shaping platforms used by millions, I translate between the C-suite and engineering. I have shaped architecture for systems ranging from secure mobile banking ecosystems to enterprise-scale optimisation engines. I partner with leadership to: • Evaluate technical risk – assessing the viability of AI and software investments before capital is deployed. • Scale high-impact ventures – turning prototypes into resilient distributed systems (microservices/APIs) that carry enterprise load. • Align roadmaps and outcomes – ensuring complex technical roadmaps map cleanly to defensible business outcomes. My recent work focuses on agentic AI and algorithmic trading. I design systems where intelligent agents reason, retrieve and collaborate, applying the latency and reliability discipline of financial trading to modern AI architectures. Fluent in English (native) and proficient in French. A builder at heart, and a technology strategist by trade. Deep focus areas: Agentic AI · AI Strategy · AI Ethics · Distributed Systems · RAG · LLMs · Financial Technology · Technical Due Diligence · APIs & Microservices
