Research collaboration on payments and quantum-safe security.
Research collaboration means working together on a paper, a working-group output or a technical review in payments, ISO 20022, post-quantum cryptography or applied AI. It suits industry bodies, banks, fintechs and academic teams that want a practitioner's view. You get a co-author, a reviewer or a working-group contributor, with the EPAA white paper as the reference.
These are personal activities, separate from my role at HSBC. The views I share are my own.
Who it's for
Who it's for
Banks
Payments, security and architecture teams preparing a position paper or an internal review on quantum-safe migration or ISO 20022, who want a reader who has built payments products and the open-source tools around them.
Fintechs and payment service providers
Teams publishing research on payment rails, open banking or agentic payments, who want a co-author or reviewer from the bank side of the table.
Regulators and industry bodies
Working groups and associations drafting guidance or white papers, who want a contributor with hands-on payments and post-quantum cryptography experience.
What you get
What you get
Co-authoring. A section or a full paper on a topic in my focus areas, written in plain English with every claim sourced.
Draft review. A structured review of your draft: what holds, what needs a source, and where a payments practitioner would push back.
Working-group contributions. Regular participation in a working group, as with the EPAA Quantum-Safe Cryptography Working Group.
Open data and code. Where it helps the paper, the open-source libraries and datasets I maintain can be cited, inspected and reused.
How it works
How it works
- Send a short note through the contact form with the topic, the output you have in mind and the timeline.
- We agree the scope, the credit and the publication terms in writing before any work starts.
- I contribute to the agreed drafts until the paper or output is published.
Proof
On the record
- Member of the EPAA Quantum-Safe Cryptography Working Group and contributor to its white paper Quantum-Safe Payments: Why the Payments Industry Must Act Now (September 2025).
- Fellow of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers (FIAP).
- 53M all-time downloads of the open-source packages (crates.io, PyPI and npm).

Yes. I write in English and French, both at native level.
How is a contribution credited?
As we agree in writing before work starts, usually as a named contributor, as on the EPAA white paper.
