What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a compliance-focused role where I can own TM investigations and end-to-end SAR/STR narratives, tune monitoring rules to reduce false positives, and deliver audit-ready, high-quality risk assessments for global AML/KYC expectations.

I’m a results-driven Transaction Monitoring (TM) Specialist with 5+ years of specialized experience in financial crime compliance, fintech risk analytics, and anti-money laundering (AML) operations. I excel at parsing high-volume transactional data, spotting complex fraud typologies, and executing end-to-end investigative workflows that hold up to audit and regulatory scrutiny.

In my most recent role, I conducted deep-dive analysis of complex, high-volume transaction datasets for institutional clients to detect potential money laundering, terrorist financing, and structured fraud patterns. I led the end-to-end preparation, narrative drafting, and regulatory filing of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), ensuring 100% accuracy and strict adherence to statutory timelines.

I also drive measurable improvements by optimizing transaction monitoring rules to reduce false-positive alert rates and increase investigation throughput. Previously, I managed 500+ complex monthly financial alerts, maintained a 95% proficiency rating in case resolution, and collaborated across fraud, product, engineering, and international compliance teams using tools like Kibana, JIRA, and the Pismo Simulator to strengthen monitoring coverage and case quality.
