@karthikeyang
I’m an AML/KYC analyst specializing in sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and fraud detection to ensure compliance.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven AML/KYC Analyst with 7+ years of experience in financial crime compliance. I focus on transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and fraud detection, turning complex investigations into clear, audit-ready outcomes.
I conduct KYC/CDD/EDD reviews for onboarding and periodic refresh, identify suspicious patterns, and perform enhanced due diligence. I file SARs, support regulatory audits and compliance reporting, and apply regulatory frameworks such as FATF, OFAC, BSA, FinCen, and FCIS.
Across recent roles, I’ve resolved high-volume alerts with high accuracy and improved processes through data-informed changes. I increased KYC process efficiency by 40%, reduced fraud incidents by 15%, and achieved 95% accuracy in AML compliance audits.
I also bring an AI & analytics mindset to financial crime work—using tools and approaches for anomaly detection and AML pattern recognition, alongside SQL and Python for AML use cases. I’m open to relocation and excited by AI, blockchain, and financial crime innovation.
