What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine financial crime expertise with data analytics and AI-driven investigation to improve AML detection, reduce false positives, and ship practical tools—while collaborating closely with MLRO/compliance and data/product teams.

I’m a data-driven fraud and compliance professional with 2+ years of direct financial crime experience and 2+ years of data analytics experience across technology and healthcare research environments. I apply analytics to large datasets to surface risk patterns, build operational dashboards, and drive measurable improvements.

At Pockit Ltd, I investigated suspicious transactions end-to-end across advance fee fraud, money laundering, APP scams, and benefits fraud—dismantling a 150+ account fraud ring with £300k+ exposure and escalating through the NCA SAR process. I’ve submitted 1000+ Suspicious Activity Reports (including multiple DAML SARs) and recalibrated detection logic to reduce false positives, including improving ScamML recall by ~20% and precision by ~4%.

I also build smarter detection frameworks from scratch, including device-sharing detection rules adopted across the team and used to identify 10+ fraud rings. Outside pure investigation, I’ve created ChainTrace, a production crypto AML investigation platform using the Claude API, and I’m TRM-CI and ACAMS CAFCA certified.
