@guledawali
Technical support and compliance specialist combining Tier 2 escalations with AML/KYC investigations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a technical support and compliance professional with 6+ years handling escalated Tier 2 cases in regulated environments. At Relativity, I resolved critical client escalations using SQL queries and backend structural analysis to pinpoint and fix technical anomalies. I bring a fintech blend of hands-on troubleshooting and deep AML/KYC, sanctions, and transaction-monitoring expertise.
Most recently, I serve as an SME and Tier 2 point of contact for ambiguous CDD/EDD cases, owning end-to-end investigation, documentation, and risk recommendations for leadership. Earlier roles strengthened my compliance fundamentals through OFAC screening and AML support for remittance transactions, and I’ve also led product-facing operations as a co-founder. I thrive on translating complex findings into clear narratives, maintaining data integrity, and collaborating across teams until every incident is fully resolved.
