What I'm looking for

I'm open to Governance, Risk & Compliance, Information Security, and Legal AI/Legal Ops roles in London.

Four years in regulatory compliance, AML/KYC and due diligence taught me to look beyond what a file says and flag what may be wrong. At Thakur and Sinha Law Offices LLP, I carried out AML and Source of Funds verifications and implemented Case Management System workflows that improved file organisation and reduced pre-completion delays by 30%.

At the University of Westminster, I completed an LLM in Law and Technology and researched how blockchain could support transparent NGO fund governance. I use Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini for legal and compliance work, including contract review and due diligence, and I'm working towards the CIPP/E while building my knowledge of ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
