What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead AML/financial-crime programs, apply SQL and automation to monitoring, mentor teams, and work in compliance-focused, risk-aware organizations.

I am an AML professional with broad experience designing transaction monitoring systems, leading FIU inspection responses, and conducting enhanced due diligence. I built SQL-based monitoring that doubled alert processing efficiency, reduced false positives, and implemented enterprise AML risk assessments aligned with FATF and local regulations.

I bring a front-to-back financial perspective from founding an investment firm and prior proprietary trading experience, and I combine that with growing technical skills in machine learning and automation through graduate study. I author bilingual AML policies, deliver targeted training, and drive process improvements that strengthen compliance and operational resilience.
