Hi, I'm Pearse Taggart

I'm a product designer and software engineer with deep experience across the payments stack. I've spent years building products that move money — from checkout flows and processor integrations to compliance frameworks and transaction monitoring systems.

My focus now is on what happens when AI agents become active participants in commerce. Autonomous agents that can discover, negotiate, purchase, and settle — and the infrastructure needed to make that safe, compliant, and scalable.

I work with companies at the intersection of payments and AI, helping them think through architecture, build prototypes, and ship products. Whether that's designing agent payment rails, integrating with existing processors, or building the interfaces that give humans oversight of autonomous transactions.
