Steven Minnikin

Founder & Principal AI Architect, Minibit Ltd

I design, build and operate AI systems for regulated financial services. I have 11 years’ experience in regulated financial services, spanning financial advice, software development and technology leadership. My work includes Autocalls, now live with investors; seven years leading technology at Lowes Financial Management; and an onboarding platform that reduced application processing time by over 90%. I’m based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. I’m available for contract roles from 30 November 2026, remote or in Newcastle upon Tyne, and through Minibit Ltd I offer AI and data consultancy to UK financial advice firms.
