What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in compliance and risk management, with a focus on innovative financial solutions.

I am an experienced KYC and AML Analyst with a proven track record in financial crime prevention, customer due diligence, and regulatory compliance across both traditional banking and fintech sectors. My expertise lies in conducting Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), managing law enforcement communication, and ensuring quality control in global banking environments. I am passionate about crypto compliance and continuously update my knowledge through targeted certifications.

Currently, I work as an AML/KYC Analyst, where I act as an official intermediary for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), ensuring full regulatory compliance through thorough customer due diligence and KYC procedures. My role involves analyzing transactions to detect suspicious activity and mitigate money laundering risks, as well as preparing and submitting SARs in line with legal standards. I maintain a strong knowledge of evolving AML legislation and compliance best practices, which I apply to assess the implications of regulations like the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) on KYC procedures.

Previously, I held positions at HSBC and LYNX Broker, where I focused on quality control and compliance risk analyses. My experience also includes founding and leading a small e-commerce skincare company, which has honed my operational and compliance skills. I am dedicated to contributing to the financial industry's integrity and am eager to take on new challenges that align with my expertise.
