What I'm looking for
I am a Compliance and AML specialist with over 6 years of experience in building compliance frameworks across Web3, fintech, and crypto sectors. My journey has taken me from leading the structuring of a Web3 Golden Visa Investment Fund at Porto Seguro to enhancing KYC workflows at Binance. My expertise lies in execution, strategy, and system design, ensuring that compliance and regulatory frameworks are robust and effective.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed high-level corporate KYB onboarding and enhanced due diligence for institutional clients at KYC3, preventing fraudulent partnerships with major crypto institutions. My technical skills in blockchain analytics and programming, combined with my leadership experience in cross-functional teams, allow me to drive projects from inception to successful launch while maintaining a strong focus on compliance and risk management.
