What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my fraud investigation, cyber risk, security controls, and incident triage experience in a cybersecurity or fraud operations role with opportunities to strengthen enterprise security.

At Newfold Digital, I investigate high-risk transactions, account takeover, and identity verification cases, achieving 97% decision accuracy across 20,000+ cases. I perform payment risk assessments, enforce PCI DSS controls, and use OSINT and transaction analysis to help reduce fraudulent activity by 25–30%.

I've also evaluated phishing campaigns through Mastercard Forage and built cybersecurity projects including CyKit, a Python-based security toolkit, and Protectium, a three-factor MFA system. My work spans fraud operations, incident triage, security controls, documentation, network analysis, and automation.
