Yes, I have extensive, practical, and academic experience working at the intersection of FinTech, banking compliance, stablecoins, and blockchain regulation.
My experience can be categorized into three core areas:
Academic & Regulatory Grounding: I hold a specialized credential in FinTech Law and Policy from Duke University. This intensive training provided me with a robust understanding of the regulatory landscape governing FinTech structures, cross-border payments, virtual asset service providers (VASPs), smart contracts, and the legal treatment of stablecoins (such as USDC/USDT) under frameworks like MiCA and US federal guidelines.
Traditional Finance (TradFi) & Payments Integrity: For over 16 years, I have served as a Principal Officer and Branch Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (BAMLCO) at EXIM Bank PLC. My day-to-day operations involve handling regulatory compliance, corporate financial analysis, and anti-money laundering (AML/CFT) frameworks. I am highly proficient in managing complex transaction monitoring, executing Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and handling regulatory filings through channels like goAML. This gives me a deep institutional understanding of payment rails and financial crime prevention.
Crypto & Web3 Ecosystem Engagement: I am an active crypto content creator and strategist publishing technical insights, regulatory reviews, and exchange market analyses across global platforms including Binance Square, CoinMarketCap Community, and Gate.io. My writing portfolio includes deep-dives into exchange compliances, technical alerts regarding API changes (e.g., Etherscan APIs), and the structural decoupling of protocol governance from regulated asset layers in the RWA space.
By combining 16 years of battle-tested banking compliance integrity with a specialized education in Web3 and FinTech law, I possess the unique ability to navigate complex legal frameworks, draft technical compliance documentation, and support RIN's legal and paralegal operations efficiently
