+* Built an end-to-end AML simulation using **Python**, 
+  generating **9M+ records** across customers, 
+  transactions, and alerts to mimic real-world 
+  financial behavior and suspicious activity patterns.
+* Wrote advanced **SQL (CTEs + joins)** to classify 
+  **high-risk customers**, calculate alert counts, and 
+  filter transactions over the past 90 days with 
+  aggregated metrics.
+* Engineered a **risk scoring model** in Python 
+  using transaction thresholds and alert volume to 
+  classify customers as Elevated or Critical risk.
+* Designed **interactive Tableau dashboards** (Risk 
+  Heatmap, Alert Efficiency, Risk vs. Avg Amount) to 
+  visualize cross-country AML exposure and alert 
+  effectiveness.
+- **Developed KPI-ready metrics** (alert rate, avg USD 
+  exposure, transaction volume) to drive AML 
+  performance reporting and enable cross-country risk 
+  comparisons.
+- **Normalized multi-currency transaction data** to 
+  ensure consistent exposure calculations across USD, 
+  CAD, and EUR, supporting reliable AML metric 
+  aggregation.

-- **Reduced deployment time by 66%** by implementing a 
-  [solution](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/175a6356c5474f2360ccb8ae835e0b9b2d653cf1) for deploying locally-compiled binaries onto 
-  Kubernetes/OpenShift via command-line, **cutting average 
-  deployment times from 45 minutes to 15 minutes**. 
-  (**Kubernetes/GoLang** used for this and three below). 
-- **Eliminated 80% of manual configuration errors** by enabling 
-  the Kubernetes operator to automatically fetch data from 
-  deployed services and update configurations, **deprecating 
-  legacy startup scripts and reducing overall startup time 
-  by 40%**.
-- **Improved application stability** by introducing startup 
-  probes for legacy applications with longer boot times, 
-  **resulting in a 50% reduction in startup-related failures 
-  and downtime during production launches**.
-- **Enhanced system reliability** by refactoring probes to 
-  [assign default values](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/af4977af228ec8648be28779259d4552246b656f) dynamically based on deployed YAML 
-  files and fixing reconciliation issues, **increasing probe accuracy by 30%** and preventing misconfigurations.
-- **Increased CI pipeline efficiency** by rewriting the 
-  **Jenkins (Groovy)** [nightly pipeline](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88) to run in a GitHub PR 
-  environment, allowing for automated testing of all 
-  team-submitted PRs prior to merging, **reducing manual 
-  intervention by 60%**.
-- **Increased project reproducibility** by taking initiative to 
-  write a [reusable GitHub parameters file](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88#diff-7d2c018dafbccec859077d19bf1ade53ec9c7649f235528ce89f5632b109f7e6) for the pipeline, 
-  **enabling 100% reusability** and ensuring consistent pipeline 
-  setups across different environments.
-- **Streamlined developer onboarding** by authoring 
-  comprehensive [project documentation](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/blob/1534c03d1d26bec08a16608a775782bf8b305de9/docs/GUIDE_FOR_KOGITO_DEVS.md) and mentoring an
