About

I’m a hands-on product and engineering leader focused on building technology at the intersection of fintech, fund management, and AI. At Hatcher+, I lead the product and engineering teams behind FAAST™ (Funds-As-a-Service Technology), a multi-asset fund management platform built from the ground up to modernize operations for family offices and fund managers. My work spans architecture, engineering, investment data systems, fund operations workflows, and AI-driven automation. I stay deeply technical while driving product strategy, execution, and platform scale across multiple markets. My background combines corporate banking, deep-tech R&D, and venture capital, supported by a B.Eng. (Computer Engineering) and M.Comp. (Information Systems) from the National University of Singapore. Outside work, I enjoy tennis, cricket, sim racing, and following global markets. GitHub: https://github.com/adityaswami93 Singapore Citizen
