About me

I started as a frontend engineer in 2016. I liked building things people used. Over time I moved further into the stack, then further into the business: product ownership, operations, then compliance.

The shift happened at Copperx (KOSH), a crypto payments platform. I joined to build the product. I ended up owning the compliance engine I helped build: KYC and KYB review, transaction monitoring, fraud scoring, and the partner integrations that made the rails work.

I reviewed more than 6,000 KYC and KYB applications, made more than 7,000 transaction monitoring decisions, and built a 60-plus rule fraud scoring engine across 13 risk categories. I worked with 7 payment partners and led a team of 3 to 4 across support and compliance review.

I joined as an engineer and ended up owning the compliance engine I helped build. That path gave me something most compliance specialists do not have: I understand how the systems work at the code level, and I understand what regulators expect at the policy level.

Now I want to bring that combination to a company that takes compliance seriously as a product function, not just a legal obligation. I am open to senior compliance and risk operations roles, and to founders who need to build a program from the ground up.
