I protect platforms from identity threats, account takeovers, and digital fraud through risk analytics and investigations.
What I'm looking for
At Microsoft via Atos-Wipro, I analyze Microsoft Entra ID activity to identify complex anomalies and disrupt identity threats before they affect platform integrity.
I enhance risk-based protections by labeling ML-driven detections and integrating signals from XDR and other sources.
Previously at Riot Games, I investigated platform abuse and financial risk across Kount, PayOn, PayPal, and Shopify. I helped maintain a 0.9% chargeback rate across processors and designed the fraud investigations SOP used for Trust and Safety onboarding.
I’ve also monitored ecommerce transactions, investigated more than 130 unauthorized-access reports daily with SQL, and protected customer information while maintaining GDPR and CCPA compliance.
