What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on fraud/risk role where I can apply data-driven monitoring, improve detection systems, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive automation while maintaining compliance.

I am a dedicated Fraud Specialist with over four years of experience in transaction monitoring, fraud prevention, and risk management within the payments industry. I leverage strong analytical skills and tools like Feedzai, Looker, Grafana, and SQL to detect suspicious patterns and mitigate financial losses.

I have led document verification processes, managed high-risk accounts, and handled critical fraud cases including account takeover and phone theft, collaborating closely with Product, Technology, Customer Support, and KYC teams. I consistently apply Agile methodologies and tools such as Jira and Zendesk to prioritize investigations and improve operational efficiency.

I seek to continue enhancing fraud detection systems and processes, contributing to automation and KPI-driven improvements while maintaining compliance with data protection best practices and minimizing financial exposure.
