Over ten years shipping regulated digital products across the FCA, insurance and fintech — Direct Line Group, Chubb, NatWest, and a VC-backed MGA where I was the entire product function. The common thread: products where the evidence, the controls and the cost all had to stand up to scrutiny. I now build AI tools held to that same standard — AWS certified on the AI stack, because credentials should be auditable too. Two are live. Six more are on the way.
Teams putting AI into regulated environments who need it to be auditable rather than magical. Founders who want a product person that ships. And anyone who remembers arranging their Top 8 like it was a diplomatic crisis.

The Wall
Briefly shipped. Second of eight. Drop in a meeting recording, get back a client-ready update — and it never invents an owner or a deadline nobody agreed to.
Document X-Ray shipped. First of eight. Ask a PDF anything and see exactly which passages produced the answer.
danieltaiwo.com rebuilt as the profile page you are reading. The Top 8 is tools now. It was always going to be tools.
Seven more tools in the lab. The wall updates when they land.
