Portfolio
Rizwan Khan
Delivering enterprise programs by day. Building AI products, quantitative models, and cross-disciplinary technical systems by design. Where structured delivery meets innovation.
Background
Career Journey
Not a transition story — a parallel growth story. Program management has always been the foundation, while passions in financial markets, AI building, and business innovation have grown alongside it, creating a unique cross-disciplinary profile.
Enterprise Program & Project Management
The constant thread throughout the career — delivering large-scale enterprise programs and projects across finance, government, and education. From Oracle Cloud transformations to $25M+ curriculum system builds, this remains the core discipline that underpins everything else.
Financial Markets & Quantitative Modeling
A parallel pursuit that started early and never stopped — building quantitative models in MATLAB, studying technical analysis, and developing systematic approaches to financial markets trading. This passion for markets runs alongside the enterprise career.
AI Product Building & Technical Creation
An evolution that grew naturally from years of technology delivery — moving from managing tech projects to hands-on building of AI products, agentic systems, decision-support tools, and cross-disciplinary technical platforms.
Consulting, Advisory & Strategic Partnerships
Combining program management rigour with AI building expertise to consult, advise, and partner with businesses on technology strategy, AI implementation, and business model innovation.

AI Development
Designs and builds production AI systems including multi-agent orchestration, agentic workflows, decision-support platforms, NLP pipelines, voice interaction systems, and local-first AI architectures.
Financial Markets & Economic Modeling
Builds quantitative models for financial markets and macroeconomic research systems using MATLAB — spanning market data ingestion, backtesting workflows, signal evaluation, and regime tracking across liquidity, rates, volatility, credit stress, FX, and commodities. Informed by heterodox and Post-Keynesian economic thinking that challenges conventional equilibrium models.
Business Innovation
Applies structured business validation and innovation frameworks to product creation. Deep practitioner of Strategyzer methodology including Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Design, and evidence-based assumption testing.
