What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in compliance and fraud management, within a dynamic and innovative company culture.

I am a Psychology graduate from the Baltic International Academy with extensive experience in Compliance, AML, and KYC within the online gambling industry and financial sector. Currently, I lead my own online crypto casino startup, leveraging my deep understanding of casino promotion strategies and the evolving trends in the crypto and Web3 space.

Throughout my career, I have consistently met deadlines and thrived under pressure, delivering innovative solutions that align with the dynamic nature of the industry. My roles have included Compliance Analyst at UNA Financial, where I prepared and controlled internal policies, and Senior Fraud Manager at Odds96, where I improved automated fraud models and created unique marketing strategies.
