What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment focused on compliance and risk management.

I am dedicated to a career in compliance, where I leverage my analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication to mitigate risks and ensure regulatory adherence. My experience includes performing client onboarding, document verification, and conducting thorough due diligence to promote ethical practices in a dynamic environment.

In my role as a Payments & Compliance Analyst at Bizcuits Solutions, I strategized new procedures for enhancements and conducted risk and fraud reviews during withdrawal stages. My previous experience as a CDD Operations Specialist at OKX/OKcoin Europe involved performing KYC due diligence and utilizing screening tools to identify potential risks, ensuring compliance with regulations.
