    From 9 Months to 3 Days | Gregor Siwinski on AI and the New Reality of Engineering

    Building software used to take months. Now, a prototype can be ready in three days. In this episode of From Code to C-Suite, Liam sits down with Gregor Siwinski, CEO/CTO at Payability, to explore how AI is changing software development, fintech and the way modern engineering teams operate. Gregor has helped build the technology behind more than $6 billion in financing for e-commerce businesses. He shares how Payability supports Amazon and Walmart sellers, why managing risk remains one of fintech’s hardest challenges, and how a team of fewer than 50 people can operate at significant scale. He also explains why faster development does not automatically create successful businesses. When almost anyone can build a product, the real advantage is understanding what should be built, who needs it and what happens after the prototype. We cover: •⁠ ⁠How Payability gives e-commerce sellers faster access to capital •⁠ ⁠Building the financial infrastructure behind $6 billion in financing •⁠ ⁠Why one poor risk decision can outweigh thousands of successful transactions •⁠ ⁠How AI has reduced software development from months to days •⁠ ⁠Why smaller teams can now build more with less capital •⁠ ⁠What the next generation of engineers needs to succeed •⁠ ⁠Why CTOs must remain hands-on with technology •⁠ ⁠The difference between building quickly and building something valuable When anyone can build, knowing what deserves to be built becomes the real advantage. 📲 Connect with Liam Moir-Holland and From Code to C-Suite: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liammoirholland/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-moir-holland-a194b3158/ LinkedIn (Podcast): https://www.linkedin.com/company/from-code-to-c-suite/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@code.to.csuite 📲Connect with Gregor Siwinski: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregor-siwinski/ 📌 Subscribe for more conversations with founders, operators, and investors.
