Starting 2014, I worked at C-level responsible for IT/Ops in the EU/UK FinTech company; from idea through startup to a grown business. Unfortunately, I cannot be too explicit to retain the anonymity; however, here are key facts of what I did:

Licensing: IT, IS, and Ops -related aspects of securing EMI licenses from EU and UK national regulators, as well as Principal Issuer licenses from Mastercard and VISA

Compliance: PCI DSS, PSD2, RTS on SCA, GDPR

Infrastructure: creating geographically distributed Active/Active setup for card issuing and lifecycle

Product: heavily integrated payment core with mobile, web, and API interfaces

Hands-on R&D and engineering: customized HW HSM solution for specific needs; tailored payment solution for MC/VISA cashless events; and much more

Getting to details: good examples would be in-depth knowledge of 3DS v.2.x API and A/GPay 

I'm interested only in part-time engagement.
