I’m an AML and risk-focused professional with 4 years of fintech experience, currently serving as a Sr Operations Associate, Financial Crimes at Stripe (April 2024–Present).

Previously, as a Legal Compliance Analyst (AML&KYC) at DolfinTech (June 2022–April 2024), I monitored high-volume remittances, conducted KYC reviews and deep due diligence on alerts, and authored/approved SARs and regulatory filings across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil—always with a clear focus on preventing AML/CTF risk through reliable workflows.
