What I'm looking for

I’m looking for B2B/contract opportunities in fintech and digital banking where I can own product scope, lead requirements and integrations, and deliver AML/KYC & compliance-ready solutions with clear deadlines and stakeholder alignment.

I’m a Senior Business Analyst and Product Owner with over 10 years in online retail banking and digital financial services. I focus on defining business scope, gathering and documenting requirements, and driving delivery within scope and deadlines.

At PLATA Bank, I developed an AML and Compliance platform that automates sanctions and watchlist screening, transaction monitoring, risk scoring, and compliance alert handling. I also coordinated the documentation, evidence collection, and remediation needed for a successful regulatory audit and supported the platform’s launch into production.

Previously, I led business analysis across retail banking and digital onboarding processes, including KYC and online identification services. I managed integration and documentation work such as API specifications, data mapping, and system integration artifacts, ensuring teams and stakeholders stayed aligned.

I’ve led end-to-end digital lending improvements, including launching an integration with the Unified Biometric System for online onboarding and loan application. I’ve also worked on customer-facing operational flows (card issuance and contact center processes), contributing to UI/UX requirements and pre-production testing.
