What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a UK-based financial crime or fraud analyst role where I can apply investigative rigour, data-led decision-making, and AML/KYC regulatory compliance expertise to reduce fraud, improve detection quality, and strengthen governance.

I’m a financial crime and fraud investigation professional with 4+ years of experience at Amazon, LinkedIn, and Vimeo, leading AML/KYC due diligence, transaction monitoring, and end-to-end fraud investigations across UK, US, and Canadian markets. At Amazon, I reduced fraud detection gaps by 69%, and at LinkedIn I drove a 30% reduction in repeat policy violations through evidence-led casework and enhanced detection rule sets. I also optimized MI reporting to give senior leadership real-time visibility into transaction risk trends.

Currently, I’m completing my ICA Certificate in AML while building advanced risk analytics capabilities through an MSc Business Analytics (Merit, University of Stirling). I bring investigative rigour, data-led decision-making, and regulatory compliance expertise to translate complex risk signals into compliant actions—because better detection only matters when it holds up in governance, SAR workflows, and operational execution.
