About the project
From February to August 2026, I worked in Houston on Hawkeye, the treasury software suite of Redbridge Debt & Treasury Advisory. Its best-known product, HawkeyeBSB, is a web application that helps corporate treasury teams monitor, manage and reduce their bank fees: it brings the account analysis statements of every bank, whatever their format, into one standardised view, and checks each charge against a baseline to catch billing errors.
I was in charge of shipping real features in the product, building DevOps tooling and extending unit and end-to-end test coverage.
This experience introduced me to American professionalism in software engineering, and helped me build good habits for using AI at work: understanding the business and technical need first, to keep the code reliable and maintainable.
