What I'm looking for

I seek a remote KYC/AML analyst role in fintech/crypto/traditional banking where I can apply my banking compliance experience, data-driven skills, and interest in secure global operations.

I am a results-driven KYC/AML and compliance specialist with over a decade of experience across global and Islamic banking, focused on client onboarding, sanctions/PEP screening, AML investigations and regulatory reporting. I have served in roles from frontline KYC analyst to MLRO responsibilities, consistently improving KYC frameworks and compliance controls.

I expanded my technical toolkit with Data Science and digital marketing certifications to bring a tech-oriented approach to compliance, enabling data-driven risk assessment and more effective monitoring for fintech and crypto environments. I have a strong track record working with high-risk clients, performing event-driven reviews, and delivering compliance training.

I am seeking a remote KYC/AML analyst role in fintech or crypto where I can combine traditional banking compliance expertise with modern digital tools to strengthen secure, compliant global financial operations.
