Portrait of Anthony Ball

Anthony Ball

I define the product, then I ship the build.

Founding Product Engineer and Senior Full-Stack Developer. Twenty years of commercial software, six in blockchain and fintech.

Get in touchSee the work

Two sides, one seat

Product judgment with an engineering spine.

Last contract title was Chief Product Officer: owned direction, user problems, and roadmap while staying in the build. Not a manager-only seat.

Product

Founding Product Engineer

Scope from ambiguity. Talk to users and enterprise clients. Own the roadmap, ship with engineering, and keep iterating after launch. Consumer finance journeys that stay simple when the systems underneath are not.

Engineering

Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Hands-on TypeScript, React, React Native, Node, and PostgreSQL. Production smart contracts, multi-chain wallets, high-performance UIs, and cloud infrastructure. The same person who wrote the scope writes the code.

Selected work

Outcomes across product and platform.

  • Enterprise platforms that stuck

    Founded RNDMR Limited and delivered connected web and mobile products adopted by Tesco, Coles, and HSBC. Scoped with the client, shipped with engineering, improved after launch.

  • Acquisition flows under deadline

    As Director and Product Lead at AWD Moneyextra, led the technical merger-takeover of Moneyextra.com: offline acquisition into the live web flow with teams of up to 20.

  • First-to-market comparison engine

    Founded STL Innovations and launched a UK comparison engine for cellular plans and financial products, supplying analytics to T-Mobile UK, Telefónica Europe, BT Group, and Hutchison 3G.

  • Complex finance, simple journeys

    Designed and shipped a non-custodial web and mobile wallet across Bitcoin, Ethereum, EVM L2s, and Solana, then one-click swaps, NFT purchase, and on-chain perpetual futures.
