Harold Duarte
@haroldduarte
AML compliance specialist at Félix, reducing false positives 65% through SQL-driven monitoring rule redesign.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
At Félix, I lead day-to-day transaction monitoring, direct two analysts, and report weekly performance to GRC leadership.
I redesigned monitoring rules and added new scenarios using SQL analysis, cutting false positives by about 65%. I own pre-filing SAR quality control; more than 80 SARs were filed with FinCEN on time.
I also redesigned the alert workflow around AI, reducing handling time from 40 to 10 minutes per alert before moving to AI-handled batches with sample-based QA.
Previously, at RappiPay Colombia, I ran transaction monitoring and due diligence under the SARLAFT framework, and built and maintained compliance databases in SQL. I’m interested in financial crime compliance across BSA/FinCEN and SARLAFT frameworks.
