I see what others miss and I act on it before it costs the platform.
Fraud doesn't announce itself. It hides in behavioural patterns, transaction anomalies, and identity inconsistencies. After 9+ years investigating complex cases for some of the biggest global platforms including the likes of Airbnb and Upwork, finding those signals is what I do best.
I specialise in proactive threat hunting, payment fraud, AML compliance, and platform integrity. I excel at combining OSINT techniques with deep investigative instinct to surface risks before they escalate. I don't just work queues. I ask what the queue is missing.
My work has directly influenced product level security improvements: from strengthening Identity Verification processes against deepfake and AI bypass attacks, to closing post suspension policy gaps that left platforms exposed during appeal windows.
What I bring with me:
→ Fraud Investigation & Complex Case Analysis
→ Transaction Monitoring & Payment Risk
→ KYC / AML / CDD / EDD
→ OSINT & Digital Investigations
→ Platform Integrity & Policy Enforcement
→ Trust & Safety Operations
→ Team Handling Experience
High volume, high stakes, high accuracy is where I feel at home.
