Conduct end-to-end KYT investigations on 70+ on-chain cases across EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC), TRON, Solana, TON, and Bitcoin — tracing illicit fund flows, attributing wallets to known entities, and classifying risk levels for escalation. Identify and document financial crime typologies including mixer/tumbler usage, cross-chain bridge layering, DEX swaps, ransomware-linked wallets, darknet exposure, and sanctioned exchange routing. Conduct sanctions screening — identifying links to OFAC/EU-designated entities, sanctioned exchanges (e.g. Garantex, Bitzlato), and high-risk counterparties across multiple chains; flag exposure for escalation and reporting. Triage and classify transaction monitoring alerts; escalate high-severity cases with structured, audit-ready case documentation. Perform entity-level risk analysis — assessing VASP licensing status, jurisdictional risk, corporate infrastructure, and on-chain behavioral patterns to support customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring decisions. Use blockchain analytics tools including Chainalysis, TRM Labs, and MistTrack for entity attribution, cluster analysis, and typology identification. Contribute to AML monitoring rule improvement by identifying false positives, recurring typology patterns, and gaps in detection logic. Produce incident analysis reports covering hack/exploit cases, laundering flow categorization, and sanctioned entity exposure — supporting internal escalation and SAR-equivalent narrative outputs. Build and maintain OSINT pipelines using Claude AI, ChatGPT, Serper.dev, and custom Python scripts to enrich investigation context and reduce manual research effort. Apply chain-specific investigation logic (EVM trace analysis, UTXO clustering, account model differences on Solana/TON) to adapt methodology to each case. Develop automation tooling: macros, scripts, and data pipelines to reduce routine manual work and increase investigation throughput.

Performed KYC, CDD, and EDD checks within the payments department to verify customer identity and confirm true account ownership across Play Market, App Store, Adyen, PayPal, and Stripe payment channels. Conducted Source of Funds (SOF) reviews to validate the legitimacy of customer payment sources, flagging inconsistencies and escalating high-risk cases for further review. Verified payment accuracy and transaction integrity across multiple PSP platforms, identifying discrepancies, duplicate charges, and anomalous payment patterns. Served as primary client-facing contact for compliance-related issues, mentoring new team members on KYC and payment verification workflows. Applied working knowledge of internet protocols and cryptography to support technical client issue resolution in a cybersecurity product environment.
