A one-page summary, written to be forwarded. If you are passing this along internally, everything a screen needs is below.

What I do

I run production multi-agent orchestration at Altery, a regulated UK Electronic Money Institution, as Chief Data & AI Officer. That means 30+ domain agents live in production across 7 departments, a shared library of 230+ skills organised across 14 domains behind 8 routers, 20+ Custom GPTs and 9 Agent SDK applications in production, coordinated across 130+ repositories, 550+ API routes and 40+ services.

What role is Vasiliy Uvarov looking for?

Engineering or product / technical-programme roles on agent platforms, developer tooling, or applied AI deployment.

Does Vasiliy Uvarov need UK visa sponsorship?

UK Global Talent Visa. No sponsorship required.

What can a hiring manager inspect without an NDA?

Nothing below asks for trust. Every line links to something that can be checked without an NDA.

Regulatory standing is separate, because it is not self-serve: FCA-approved EMD Individual. The FCA assessed the appointment in April 2024, raised no concerns, and added me to the firm’s record. It was assessed against the Chief Product Officer seat; I moved to Chief Data & AI Officer, UK EMI at the same firm in June 2025 and the standing carried across. That is how the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 work — by non-objection, recorded against the authorised firm — so unlike a senior-manager approval under SMCR there is no individual entry in the Register to search. It is a feature of the regime, not a gap in the claim. The FCA’s notification is held by the firm’s compliance function, which is where a diligence request should go; ask and I will put you in touch, or supply the firm reference directly. The standing concerns management of an electronic-money institution generally; it is not an AI qualification or AI-specific approval.

Background

20years in fintech delivery, engineer through C-level. At Bank Otkritie (2018–2021), led 230+ engineers across 21teams and a £100M+ IT portfolio. As Chief Product Officer at Altery, took the platform to €8-figure monthly GMV. Chief Data & AI Officer at the same firm since June 2025.
