What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level compliance role focused on AML/KYC and crypto regulation where I can design controls, lead onboarding and investigations, work cross-functionally with international teams, and grow into broader compliance leadership.

I am a compliance professional with over three years' experience designing and implementing AML/KYC frameworks, compliance policies, and regulatory reporting across financial services and fintech. I've led KYC/CDD updates, drafted suspicious activity reports, and established FATCA-related protocols while enabling expansion into LATAM crypto markets.

I design controls and onboarding protocols, deliver compliance training, and use tools such as SQL, Chainalysis, Unit 21, Unit21, Power Bi, Metabase, TeamMate, and LexisNexis to monitor and investigate risk in real time. I thrive working with international, multidisciplinary teams to translate evolving regulation into practical controls and continuous improvement.
