What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead blockchain investigations and on-chain analysis—linking OSINT with fund tracing, AML red-flag workflows, and structured reporting, in a team that values clear methodology and fast anomaly resolution.

I’m a finance and crypto operations professional with 10+ years in treasury, reconciliation, and financial controls, plus 3+ years hands-on in crypto finance across BTC, ETH, TRON, and EVM networks. I’m Chainalysis Reactor Certified and have a strong compliance foundation from CAMS.

I’m actively transitioning into blockchain investigation and on-chain analysis, building my portfolio through real case work, CTF challenges, and OSINT investigations. I conduct on-chain fund tracing (wallet clustering, mixer & bridge detection, exchange attribution), apply OSINT techniques, and produce structured investigation reports—supported by tools like Arkham Intelligence, MetaSleuth, Maltego, Etherscan, and Tronscan. My finance background helps me understand how money moves through ledgers and settlement rails so I can read on-chain behavior and spot anomalies faster.
