I investigate financial crime risks across AML, sanctions, due diligence, and cryptocurrency activity.

At Binance, I review and manage financial crime cases, investigate cryptocurrency activity, and help improve the quality, consistency, and accuracy of suspicious activity reports.

Previously, I analyzed and disseminated financial intelligence at TRACFIN for law enforcement, regulators, foreign financial intelligence units, and intelligence services. I also performed overseas-investor due diligence for the Ministry of Finance, delivering assessments on sensitive legal entities and third parties.

I've spent more than 10 years working across AML/CFT, sanctions, open-source research, risk assessment, blockchain investigations, and regulatory reporting. My published work explores cybercrime, virtual currencies, organized crime, ICOs, and NFT-related criminality.
