What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on fraud/risk role where I can apply data-driven controls, automation, and cross-team training to reduce loss and improve operational resilience.

I am a dedicated Senior Fraud and Risk Analyst with almost ten years of experience in fraud prevention, risk assessment, and transaction review.

I specialize in data scraping automation, data cleaning and transformation, quality control, and implementing procedural controls to reduce fraud risk across platforms.

My background includes roles in anti-collusion investigation, sportsbook fraud monitoring, and research & development where I created VBA and Selenium automations to improve team efficiency.

I combine analytical skills, statistical methods, and practical controls to protect operations, train staff, and deliver clear reporting on incidents and financial impact.
