Joel Basson

Co-founder of GoBlam!, a skill-based competitive gaming platform, with a founding team across Amsterdam, Porto and Mallorca. Leading the technical build end to end — real-time competitive play, integrated payments, and full KYC/AML and age-verification compliance — applying a decade-plus of iGaming engineering and operational experience to a market that's finally ready for it.

Principal engineer and internal technical advisor across Super Group — the NYSE-listed iGaming group behind Betway and Spin (3,500+ staff, 17 countries). Built a production agentic analytics platform over the group data lake: an autonomous data-analyst agent in MS Teams (RAG, vector search, sandboxed Python, vision) that didn't just answer questions but ran scheduled reporting and live anomaly monitoring — e.g. flagging when deposits stalled for any business unit. Used by executive, finance, data-science and engineering teams; tightly governed given the sensitivity and regulatory exposure of the data. Also built a real-time intervention system processing live event data across all Jumpman brands, and designed the group's custom data lake and data-processing framework (Apache Flink, Amazon Athena, AWS). Ran technical due diligence, gap analysis and risk identification on acquisition targets, plus post-deal onboarding and scaling.

Led a team designing and building a real-time online financial-processing platform — low-latency transaction processing where correctness and speed were non-negotiable. Owned architecture and delivery end to end. An early foundation for the payments and real-time systems work I focus on today.
