I build effective transaction monitoring controls and financial crime investigations for crypto and fintech.
VenezuelaWhat I'm looking for
At Blockchain.com, I lead transaction monitoring improvements for a licensed VASP, including the Elliptic-to-Chainalysis migration, historical screening-failure remediation, sanctions-threshold analysis, and regulatory examination walkthroughs. I’ve also built operational dashboards, contributed to alert tuning and rule governance, and redesigned an internal AI investigation agent.
I bring 5+ years of financial crime compliance experience across AML/CTF investigations, SAR reporting, on-chain tracing, KYC profiling, OSINT research, and compliance operations. I started in customer support and quality assurance, and now combine strong investigative quality with process optimization, automation, reporting, and cross-functional work with Product, Engineering, Compliance, FIU, and Trust & Safety teams.
