What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth, collaboration with compliance teams, and the chance to make a significant impact in financial crime prevention.

I am an experienced Financial Crime and Crypto Investigator with a robust background in transaction monitoring, anti-money laundering (AML), and illicit trade investigations. My expertise lies in both on-chain and off-chain analysis, enhanced due diligence, and regulatory compliance across various jurisdictions. I hold certifications in blockchain investigations and crypto compliance, and I am proficient in using tools like Chainalysis and Elliptic to detect and mitigate financial crime risks.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led investigations into suspicious activities, coordinating with compliance teams and law enforcement to ensure thorough due diligence based on customer risk ratings. My role as a Financial Crime Analyst at Crypto.com allowed me to streamline internal processes for unusual activity reports while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders. I have a proven track record of building strong relationships with customers and ensuring compliance with local AML/CFT regulations, which has contributed to my reputation for reliability and trustworthiness in the industry.
