AML and Compliance professional building risk frameworks, onboarding controls, and transaction monitoring consistency in fintech and crypto.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for EU roles in AML/compliance, especially where I can improve onboarding and transaction monitoring controls with practical risk frameworks. I’m also open to remote work or relocation worldwide.

I’ve handled AML across onboarding, transaction monitoring, EDD, QA, and investigations, with work spanning fintech, banking, and crypto payments. At Finrax, I designed transaction monitoring templates, KYT manuals, an EDD questionnaire, and a greylist incidents framework using Elliptic to improve investigation consistency and reduce non-actionable escalations.

At Nexpay, I evaluated AML framework effectiveness and proportionality for VASPs, PSPs, and gambling operators, reviewed 1st line escalations, and helped move from checklist reviews to a more holistic risk-based assessment tied to operational effectiveness and control adequacy. Before that, I led standardization of transaction monitoring processes at Nexpay and supported correspondent banking monitoring at Danske Bank, including screening and adverse media record-keeping for consistent investigations.
