What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue investigating complex AML, sanctions, cryptocurrency, and financial crime risks while contributing strong case quality, regulatory compliance, and remediation support.

I'm currently supporting Coinbase through Guidehouse, where I conduct quality-control reviews of AML investigations and Suspicious Activity Reports to strengthen evidence, documentation, risk assessments, and regulatory reporting.

I've investigated cryptocurrency transactions, sanctions concerns, fraud, account takeovers, phishing attacks, pig-butchering schemes, terrorism financing, darknet exposure, and other illicit financial activity. I use Chainalysis, Tracer, OSINT research, and internal systems to analyze blockchain activity, transaction behavior, and source-of-funds concerns.

Previously at USAA, I conducted CDD and EDD investigations for higher-risk customers and entities, reviewed OFAC, sanctions, and PEP alerts, and analyzed customer activity for money-laundering and sanctions risks.

I bring more than four years of AML and financial crime experience across subpoena-driven lookbacks, internal remediation, transaction monitoring, regulatory compliance support, and clear investigative documentation.
