I created Worldpay Within &#8211; an IoT payments SDK co-developed with Intel and Mastercard that anticipated today&#8217;s AI agent and autonomous payment protocols &#8211; and built AI chatbots and voice payment prototypes long before most enterprise teams were doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Ford, I created and built their creative technology team from the ground up, delivering motorshow apps, large-scale event activations, and a complete digital store overhaul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, I&#8217;ve led AI enablement and Developer Experience programmes, architected enterprise-scale platforms, and directed MVP delivery for brands including No7, WaterAid, and Screwfix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m actively seeking a&nbsp;<strong>Head of Digital<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Head of Creative Technology<\/strong>, or&nbsp;<strong>Director-level<\/strong>&nbsp;role where I can build something genuinely ambitious again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, I&#8217;m a maker at heart &#8211; you&#8217;ll find me 3D printing, building with LEGO, and finding any excuse to turn a complex technology idea into something you can hold in your hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Gordon Tech \/ Kevin Gordon.
