What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and improve fraud analytics, risk controls, and data pipelines where I can translate complex payment and identity signals into measurable detection and operational outcomes.

At CommScope, I engineer SQL and Python fraud analytics workflows across more than 1 million transaction records, translating risk signals, dashboards, and models into practical fraud controls. My work reduced false positives by 18% and increased fraud capture rates by 12% through alert-threshold experimentation.

Previously at Eli Lilly, I developed SQL features for fraud segmentation and threshold setting, investigated synthetic identity, business email compromise, and account takeover patterns, and helped improve alert quality and operational efficiency by 20%.

At DMI Finance, I analyzed more than 10 million transactional records and automated fraud-control validation in Python, improving detection accuracy by 15%. I bring experience connecting payment data, fraud typologies, decisioning platforms, and risk operations while balancing mitigation, customer experience, and data quality.
