Lego-brick Banking
Designing a Modular Core Banking Platform
Role
Product Design Lead
Outcome
Modular architecture became the firm's primary competitive advantage, directly leading to multiple successful deal wins.
As Product Design Lead, I spearheaded the zero-to-one design of a cloud-native core banking system.
Reporting to the CEO, I was tasked with solving the primary pain point of legacy banking: the months of engineering effort required to launch even simple product changes.
Through deep discovery sessions with partners like Norway's DNB, I identified a market need for a system that prioritized flexibility over hard-coded complexity.

Solution: The TACOS Framework
I designed a modular, Lego-brick financial system based on a proprietary framework called TACOS (Triggers, Actions, Conditions, Operators, and Statuses).
This logic-first approach allowed banks to deconstruct traditional products like credit cards into generic, flexible components.
I delivered a B2B UI that enabled bank administrators to configure complex financial logic and launch new products in minutes instead of months — all through a self-serve interface that required zero code.




Results
This modular architecture became the firm's primary competitive advantage, directly leading to multiple successful deal wins. In addition to the core platform, I delivered two distinct Design Systems for bank-facing and consumer-facing mobile platforms.
