I’m a Crypto Compliance & AML/CTF Specialist with 3+ years of hands-on experience working with leading FinTech and blockchain companies like Crypto.com, Paysafe, and Echo Base. I specialize in crypto investigations, SAR writing, on-chain analysis, and regulatory compliance — including KYC/CDD, policy drafting, and risk assessments.


Certified in Chainalysis Reactor and trained in OSINT, I bring a legal and technical approach to financial crime detection and prevention. I’ve conducted investigations on OTC brokers, P2P traders, mixers, and high-risk wallets, and have worked directly on AML/CTF frameworks for crypto firms.
