Understanding How Money Moves, Where Risk Emerges, and Who Controls It
My career started in traditional finance, but looking back, the common thread was never just finance itself. It was understanding how businesses operate, how money moves, who controls it, and where risk exists. Over the years, that took me from banking relationships, corporate structures, and investment operations into digital assets, compliance, AML, transaction monitoring, and financial crime. Today, I continue building on that experience through blockchain analysis, OSINT research, and projects focused on understanding risk across both traditional and digital financial systems.

SendShield
A self-initiated Chrome extension designed to provide pre-transaction safety warnings before crypto assets leave a user's wallet. SendShield surfaces threat intelligence signals when wallet addresses match known risk indicators, helping users make safer decisions before irreversible crypto transactions occur.
Current CapabilitiesWallet detection · Warning pop-ups · GitHub-hosted threat database · Scam wallet alerts · High-risk wallet alerts · Sanctions screening alerts
Future RoadmapWallet labeling · Community intelligence feeds · Exchange wallet identification · Multi-source threat intelligence · Advanced wallet analysis · Wallet behavior analysis
🔗 View Project on GitHubCERIP
Many scams and fraud schemes leave warning signs long before victims become aware. CERIP explores how risk indicators, OSINT, transaction activity, behavioural patterns, and publicly available intelligence can support earlier identification of suspicious activity.
Future VisionEarly scam & fraud indicator identification · Risk intelligence frameworks · OSINT-based research methodologies · Digital asset risk signals · Applications for investigators, compliance teams, and institutions
