Silent SMS is an incredibly convoluted and impractical way of trying to figure out someones location.

The whole purpose of mobile networks is to track a devices location (so you can route data to/from it!). Of course its easy to do it if your the operator or someone who has compromised it.

Typically open banking refers to a Banks provisioning of Oauth style APIs that allow users to share banking permissions with third parties. So a third party provider (eg payment company, budgeting app etc) can grab your statement data and trigger payments on your behalf just like you would from your mobile banking app.

ACH & SEPA are payments rails, which facilitate the interbank transfer of money. So for example, the app you have given permissions to make transfers to will request a transfer through the open banking APIs to your bank, then the bank itself will use the payments rails to process the transfer.

An ombudsman is a great route for any telco-related complaints, during my time at least they were flagged with the same (or higher) priority than vip-effecting issues.

Product Manager, past 6 years a founder (Fintech, Series A), prior to that first-PM -> VP Product in a regional payments company. 11 years of exp in all, from IC to building & leading distributed teams of 100+ people.

Deep knowledge of financial services, especially payments. Passion for education, I run a non-profit training teachers. I have an engineering background, still very much hands on. Looking for roles in early/mid stage startups, ideally IC.

Thanks for this! I was making something with this stack awhile back and spent too much time in the weeds setting everything up

Not the OP, but perhaps because they live in a country where the gov blocks lots of useful websites, or they want to see public broadcast material (Eg pbs/bbc) from other countries, or because their ISP sells barely anonymised data to 3rd parts in bulk and on the cheap.

I have also been hunting around for something like this.

The closest Ive found is Terraria, which seems to be very popular and has some of the same resource / crafting mechanics

Indonesia: Huge layoffs from the unicorns correcting their valuations and a large number of earlier stage startups shutting down. Lots of disillusionment from tech workers over whats been happening, many are trying to move to large corporates / banks, many are struggling to find work.

Theres some sectors doing well, some new fundings happening, but overall slow and layoffs continue.

The super-app premise didn't really pan out in SEA as it did in China. Grab & Gojek predominantly serve logistics use cases (ride hailing, deliveries), their payments/wallet features just backup these. Bill payment & general POS payments are being dominated by the banks and E-Comm took the shopping & pay-later.

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Product, Analytics, Growth, Fintech, Payments, Processing, Financing

Veteran of building B2B & B2B2C financial products. Ive co-founded and led a Series A+ payments & financing co serving schools and prior to this was a Product Manager -> VP Product in a small fintech company. I also founded an Educational Non-Profit focussed on low income vocational school curriculum reform.

My background is in engineering, I code regularly - but quite poorly. Im am however competent in architecture an expert at product & analytics with a large degree of domain knowledge of financial services & educational technology. Ive led large product & engineering teams, mentored a lot more, but honestly grateful for any chance I can find to be an IC.

Ive recently moved to a rural area and am looking to join a remote-first company where I can help build or grow products that have a fun or mission driven purpose. Ideally hands on or leading a small team in a product management like function.

CV on request via email below, happy to chat!

Kawi ZX25R, small & fun 4cylinder 250cc screamer sold in Asia. Im quite tall, but its still comfy without any mods and I use it daily. The riding position is not that aggressive (cant find it on the site unfortunately).

In saying that - the first time I took it on a long ride out I couldn't sit down for 24 hours afterwards I was in so much pain, but I attribute that to being a stiff old fart. Since then plenty of long rides, perhaps my joints have adapted...
