AML Investigator and Financial Crime Analyst improving transaction monitoring, KYC/EDD, and AI-assisted fraud and sanctions reviews.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AML Investigator and Financial Crime Analyst with 3+ years of experience across FinTech, digital banking, and e-commerce environments. I specialize in complex AML investigations, transaction monitoring, KYC/KYB, EDD, and suspicious activity escalation, while making risk-based decisions aligned to standards like FATF/FinCEN/OFAC/FCA.
Across roles from AML operations to AI enablement, I’ve improved control quality by writing clear SAR/STR narrative case documentation, supporting audit readiness, and optimizing reviewer efficiency through automation. I’ve also designed and labeled investigative datasets for AI model improvement, built rubrics for automated risk scoring and entity-behavior monitoring, and consistently met KPI/SLA/QA targets while strengthening sanctions screening, PEP screening, and fraud detection workflows.
