What I'm looking for

I’m focused on fraud solution consulting, where I can apply my financial-crimes expertise, translate complex risk findings into business recommendations, and support strategies that improve detection, prevention, authentication, and regulatory alignment.

At Mercor, I apply AML, KYC, fraud, and financial-crime expertise to evaluate AI-generated outputs and investigative scenarios. I assess the evidence, regulatory reasoning, and escalation decisions, and develop criteria for evaluating investigative quality.

At Guidehouse, I conducted market surveillance investigations into trading behavior, account activity, and potential regulatory concerns. I produced investigative narratives and risk summaries that translated complex activity into clear findings and recommended next steps.

At Fidelity Investments, I reviewed surveillance cases and led quality oversight to support accurate, evidence-based, and defensible conclusions. I also identified process gaps and recommended improvements to strengthen risk coverage and case quality.
