    Manoj Thomas-CEO

    I work where AI meets regulated finance — on both sides of the build.

    By day I lead transformation and data-risk programmes in global markets at a Tier-1 bank. Alongside that, I founded SpineLegal, a legal case-management platform, where I design and ship the AI features myself. Spotlight is where the two meet: what decides whether AI works in firms that answer to a regulator.

    What I write about

    Four series: data before models, regulation as architecture, a builder’s notebook from SpineLegal, and leading technology organisations through the shift. Each essay makes one argument and stands behind it.

    What I don’t

    Daily news, tool round-ups or anything about my employer’s internal work. Views here are my own, drawn from public frameworks and my own building.
