What I'm looking for

I’m seeking entry-level roles in KYC/CDD, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening or financial crime data analysis.

At the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), I analysed regulatory and governance dynamics and assessed institutional risk in structured due diligence assessments for ministerial and national security stakeholders. I used OSINT methods to verify facts and translated findings into risk-tiered recommendations.

At Vestance Consulting, I conducted OSINT verification across public databases, corporate registries and news sources. I also produced strategic policy reports and stakeholder presentations that turned complex research into executive-ready risk insights.

In my self-directed AML transaction monitoring project, I built and graded five detection rules using a sample of 55,919 payments. The most balanced rule caught 49.2% of laundering cases at a 2.1% false positive rate, and I documented the trade-offs and alert escalation approach.

For a paid client engagement, I designed and built RootLens™, a twelve-tab Excel workbook for industrial equipment-failure investigations, with a live dashboard and evidence and corrective-action tracking. I’m seeking entry-level work in KYC/CDD, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening or financial crime data analysis.
