What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can apply forensic analytics and fraud detection expertise, contribute to AML/KYC controls, mentor teams, and drive data-quality improvements in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am an experienced forensic data analyst with a strong track record in fraud detection, prevention, and data quality across financial and research sectors. I leverage SQL, Python, Power BI and i2 link analysis tools to analyze large datasets, build dashboards, refine detection rules, and support AML/KYC compliance to reduce financial loss and operational risk.

I have led data quality initiatives, trained teams on data collection platforms (RedCap, ODK, Survey Solutions), conducted audits and developed reporting frameworks that improved data integrity and operational decision-making. I collaborate closely with investigators, compliance, IT and stakeholders to implement controls, perform link analysis and deliver actionable insights.
