Regulated and high-trust products
I Build The Thing You're Arguing About
Code got cheap. Deciding what to build didn't.
Fractional product lead for teams stuck between vision and build.

THE PERSON BEHIND IT
Pavel Kroupa
From The Undecided Part To Something Engineering Can Build
Fifteen years, almost entirely in regulated and high-trust domains: crypto under Czech National Bank supervision, retail banking, fertility healthtech, energy, telecoms, security. Eight sectors where being wrong is expensive.
Anthropology background, so I run the research myself. Then I build the thing that closes the decision. Nothing gets lost in between.
Available fractionally, two days a week, or for a fixed piece of work. Plug me in where the process is stuck, unplug me when it isn't.
