{{% resume/project name="AML Risk Analytics"
languages="Python, SQL, Tableau"
date="July 2025" show="true" %}}
- 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.

{{% resume/work-experience name="Red Hat" title="Cloud/Software Engineer Intern" languages="Kubernetes, GoLang, Jenkins" date="May 2022 — Aug 2023" %}}
- Decreased manual configuration errors by 80% by automating service discovery and dynamic config updates, aligning with AML goals of minimizing operational risk and improving data integrity.
- Enhanced CI pipeline reproducibility and performance by rewriting the Jenkins nightly pipeline to support automated PR-level testing with reusable parameters, improving report consistency across environments.
- Collaborated cross-functionally with developers and testers to maintain reliable infrastructure, echoing the AML role's emphasis on stakeholder partnership for building robust reporting systems.
- Improved system reliability during production launches by implementing startup probes for legacy services, reducing downtime and enhancing stability for automated monitoring/reporting pipelines.
- Reduced reporting deployment time by 66% by building a CLI-based solution to push compiled binaries directly into Kubernetes/Openshift clusters, accelerating turnaround for testing and data validation workflows.
