What I'm looking for
As a Fraud & Risk Analyst with over three years of experience in digital banking and startup environments, I am detail-oriented and results-driven. My expertise lies in monitoring high-risk transactions, implementing AML/KYC/CDD/EDD procedures, and ensuring compliance with Central Bank guidelines. I am currently pursuing ABT1 certification and enhancing my technical proficiency with SQL, Python, and CS50 to develop scalable, data-driven compliance solutions.
In my recent role at Allugator, I performed customer verification and onboarding risk analysis, collaborating on internal process enhancements for fraud mitigation. My previous experience at Inter Bank involved monitoring large volumes of transactions and optimizing fraud detection systems, significantly reducing false positives and fraud losses. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to effective fraud prevention strategies.
