Head of Platform Engineering
Alex designs tamper-proof document storage systems for financial institutions. He writes about vault architecture, cryptographic verification, and the technical standards that underpin regulatory compliance.
How financial services firms should evaluate disaster recovery capabilities in document signing platforms, including FCA operational resilience requirements, RPO/RTO considerations, multi-region storage, and testing obligations.
A technical guide to cryptographic verification for financial services: how SHA-256 hashing establishes document integrity, the mechanics of chain-of-custody verification, and the regulatory benefits for FCA-supervised firms.
Practical guidance on document signing for insurance firms: policy issuance, claims forms, broker agreements, Lloyd's market requirements, and the evidence standards that protect insurers in long-tail disputes.
An examination of the technical architecture behind tamper-proof document storage: cryptographic hashing, immutable write-once storage, and how these mechanisms differ from standard cloud document management.
