I’m a KYC Analyst specializing in EDD, sanctions, and high-risk AML investigations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a KYC Analyst and Financial Crime Compliance Specialist focused on Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and high-risk customer reviews across regulated banking and fintech environments. I’ve delivered complex EDD work including Source of Funds/Wealth verification, sanction screening, PEP, adverse media, OSINT, and behavioural transaction analysis—making defensible risk decisions based on FATF, AML/CFT, and beneficial ownership standards.
In my roles, I’ve managed 20+ concurrent high-risk cases and completed 800+ complex financial crime investigations (crypto and fiat) with zero audit findings. I’ve also led transaction monitoring and investigations using Moody’s, prepared and escalated 50+ SAR/STR reports to the FIU, and contributed to policy/procedure and training material improvements—leveraging AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to improve EDD efficiency without sacrificing thoroughness.
