What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead fraud, scams, and mule-risk detection with end-to-end analytics—SQL/Python/Snowflake pipelines, risk-indicator design, and governance-ready decision packs for Fraud and Risk stakeholders.

I’m a FinCrime-focused Senior Data Analyst with 6 years of experience in fraud, scams, and mule-risk analytics at Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). I’ve delivered up to 25% year-on-year reduction in digital scam losses by leading end-to-end analysis—from problem definition and investigation through SQL/Python data preparation, risk-indicator design, and production deployment.

I build scalable datasets, aggregated views, and automated reporting pipelines in SQL, Python, SAS, Snowflake, and Tableau to improve financial crime detection and simplify data querying. I also translate complex investigations into governance-ready reporting, visualisation, and presentations for Fraud, Risk, and senior stakeholders, building on regulator-facing operations experience at Northern Trust, Ireland.
