With over 11 years of experience in financial services, I implement, monitor, and remediate regulatory reporting across global jurisdictions - assisting companies navigate a complex data governance, compliance, and regulatory landscape.

My regulatory specific expertise spans MiFID, EMIR, CFTC, ASIC, MAS, and HKMA regulations, with in-depth knowledge of derivatives across the full reporting lifecycle — from trading systems, to booking models, to data architecture and BAU control frameworks — ensuring both regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

Combining regulatory acumen with technology transformation, I develop custom AI solutions, including AI-powered tools, to streamline compliance processes, enhance control environments, and future-proof reporting capabilities.
