01 — ABOUT
Behind every payment,
there’s a person.
Good risk decisions protect both the business and the people it serves.
Across 15+ years in customer operations and fraud risk, I’ve worked across merchant, acquirer, issuer, and customer environments. My focus is finding the patterns behind payment fraud, strengthening detection, and protecting legitimate transactions.
I care just as much about making those findings useful to clients, colleagues, and senior leaders. I’m at my best where analytical investigation, risk judgement, and collaboration meet.
HOW I WORK
From signal to action.
01 Investigate +
Use transaction analysis to understand patterns, segment risk, and identify what needs closer attention.
02 Design & test +
Translate findings into targeted detection rules. Test control behaviour and consider the effect on legitimate customers.
03 Monitor & refine +
Review fraud, chargeback and approval trends after deployment. Tune controls as behaviour changes.
04 Align & lead +
Turn analysis into clear recommendations, partner across teams, and coach analysts to exercise sound judgement.

Metric definitions & interpretation
Values are invented to demonstrate dashboard interactions. They do not represent client performance, personal achievements, benchmarks, or scheme monitoring calculations. Figures shown on the cards are June values. Fraud and chargeback indicators can mature after the original transaction period; comparable cohorts and reporting windows matter.
