Winfred Mutui
@winfredmutui
Quality Assurance professional improving fintech and banking operations with data-driven audits and customer-first excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Quality Assurance Specialist with 10+ years of experience strengthening service excellence across fintech and banking—through quality audits, performance coaching, and operational data analysis. I use SQL-driven reviews to pinpoint process gaps, service risks, and bottlenecks, then partner cross-functionally to translate insights into better workflows and stronger customer experiences.
Beyond QA, I’ve delivered fraud & risk monitoring and compliance support, including sanctions screening, PEP checks, AML anomaly review, and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs). I also bring practical customer success and collections experience—so my improvements are grounded in how issues actually impact customers, turnaround times, and retention.
