2023 — Now
New York, United States
Disrupting with CapEx and OpEx in mind.......
Consumer and data controls… maybe world markets.
• Security: SocII&II compliance: Aka filling out the forms for security and international regulators. Gotta keep in those.
• GDPR -Ensure regulatory compliance around consumer data extraction. This is usually a multi team effort. Streamlined it a few times scalably with Netsuite, Salesforece, and Marketing tools.
• Data flows for click through marketing. Contact to contract.
• Data breach: Security control flows protecting consumer data. Company PII, GDPR and Cali state laws. -Data breach readiness and training.
• Cloud first: Google cloud heavy. Friendly with Aws and Azure, migrating platforms that are at risk and unscalable. SaaS preferred.
• Infrastructure security: Establishing IpSec for legal only technology. Also known as segregated data by form. Routers such as Cloudflare can assist in these data flows.
• DevOps: Utilize and deploy AI code vetted pre-deployment QA requirements for the business. Testing and confirming delivery post deployment.
Analytics: Running metrics not only against work KPI’s but OPI’s that deliver with results.
GitHub: Release control in live prod environments, with appropriate roll backs.
AI: Embrace it or loose it. We have many ways here to utilize it. Guardrails are a thing. Can’t speak publicly how Coinbase uses it.
