Solution architecture · Regulated systems · Applied AI
Drew Breyer
I design security-minded enterprise systems for financial institutions and help the
people responsible for them make clear technical decisions.
More than twelve years across solution engineering, enterprise CRM, cybersecurity,
and applied AI in regulated environments. The independent work here applies the same
discipline to finance and practical systems: state the assumptions, expose the tradeoffs,
and make the result understandable.
Work I can discuss in depth. Client and program details remain abstract where the engagement is confidential.
Global customer experience platform
Fortune 50 capital markets
Led architecture and stakeholder alignment for a customer-facing platform connecting CRM, identity, analytics, and downstream services. The work required a control model that could meet regulatory and security expectations without making adoption an afterthought.

Enterprise CRM modernization
Insurance & banking
Owned technical strategy across a portfolio of CRM transformations, including integration design, access controls, data ownership, and adoption planning for programs serving thousands of users.

AI-assisted advisory workflows
Financial services
Designed workflows that pair conversational tools with live enterprise context while preserving permissions, source traceability, and audit boundaries. The interface was the visible layer; governance and integration were the system.

How I work
One system, several disciplines
The common thread is a complex decision under real constraints: security, integration,
governance, adoption, and an audience that needs the tradeoff stated plainly.
Solution architecture
Architecture, integration, and stakeholder alignment for enterprise programs spanning customer platforms, identity, analytics, and downstream systems.
Cybersecurity & risk
Threat-aware design, least-privilege controls, and governance that can withstand audit, operational pressure, and incident response.
Applied AI
Agent and conversational workflows built around real constraints: data access, auditability, system boundaries, and measurable outcomes.
Executive communication
Technical decisions framed in terms of business risk, operating tradeoffs, and the evidence a senior stakeholder needs to act.
Research and writing
Solved Problems in Personal Finance
Nine cited, interactive publications about durable financial decisions. The sequence moves
from arithmetic, evidence, and model boundaries to purpose, non-sovereign assets, and the
forms of control a household actually owns.
A worked example of using custom agents, MCP, and browser automation to carry a Dynamics 365 demonstration from account research through delivery. It shows the operating method around the demo, not only the finished screen.

A USDC-backed banking concept that follows conversion, remittance, and 2-of-3 threshold custody through a regulated-bank experience. The prototype makes security and product tradeoffs inspectable on a phone.

Personal systems and field guides
Smaller tools built around interests I practice: photography, training, and food.
