These included regulatory advisory, technology advisory and specialist solution offerings. Our domains included AML, sanctions and fraud.From a regulatory perspective, this included business risk assessments, policies and standards, undertaking regulatory gap analyses, and supporting regulatory responses.From a technology perspective, this included designing, implementing and optimising ID&V, customer risk assessment (CRA), customer screening, transaction monitoring and payment screening solutions.From a solutions perspective, I led the design and oversaw the development of innovative solutions for addressing market problems which were unserviced by vendors. These included ‘Typify’ and ‘WLO’. Typify was a solution for streamlining AML investigations by contextualising the risks associated with an investigation, automatically generating investigation narratives and recommending an outcome to the investigator. Watch List Optimisation (WLO) was a solution for optimising watch lists to only include watchpersons relevant to the organisation's risk appetite, which led to dramatic reductions in screening false positives. Both solutions delivered substantial return of investment to our clients.Whilst at Baringa I was awarded the ‘Exceptional Leader’ award for the role I played in building the team and creating a great working environment.

I automated the creation of technical documentation and test scripts for Factory Acceptance Testing for Octec’s products in the military and aerospace industry. I also coded a new serial interface for a product which merges standard video and infrared video streams to create a ‘best of both worlds’ image for intelligence analysis.
