What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance role where I can prevent financial crime, lead investigations, support audits/regulatory exams, mentor teams, and apply automation to improve efficiency.

I am a compliance and KYC analyst with 6.6 years of experience protecting global banks from money laundering, sanctions, and reputational risk. I've delivered zero compliance breaches while cutting onboarding time from 5.2 to 2.9 days and boosting risk coverage to 98%.

I've filed 27 SARs/STRs leading to USD 9.4M in asset freezes, supported regulatory exams (MAS, FCA, AUSTRAC), and maintained 95% quality on Level-1 alerts. I lead audit preparations, conduct client contact reviews, perform CCRs for U.S. wealth and institutional clients, and identify suspicious patterns using World-Check, LexisNexis, and other tools.

I train teams (50+ staff), automate checks with Excel/Python to reduce manual work by 30%, and continue professional development with ICA Advanced AML (in progress) and CAMS (Dec 2025). I am proactive, quality-oriented, and focused on operational excellence in financial crime prevention.
