Signal quality and fraud detection
Analyze data distributions to calibrate rules and assess each signal’s usefulness. Compare legitimate and suspicious behavior before recommending an operational rule.
SPECIALIST CONSULTING
Payment operations need more than a list of rules. They require an understanding of provider data, user behavior and review costs. I connect fraud analysis, operating model design and automation to turn these elements into explainable decisions. Scope and pricing are defined for each project after a conversation on LinkedIn.

For fintechs, providers and platforms facing high payment volume, noisy alerts, confusing declines or manual review queues. Also for teams that need stronger connections between support, risk and engineering.
Analyze data distributions to calibrate rules and assess each signal’s usefulness. Compare legitimate and suspicious behavior before recommending an operational rule.
Map decline codes, authentication failures and provider responses. Review fields that appear equivalent but represent different stages of a transaction.
Organize evidence, triage procedures and responsibilities. Bring payment, account and support information together to support case analysis and follow-up.
Assignment, enrichment and handoffs with SQL, APIs and automation tools. Contextual alerts, duplicate handling and gradual rollout help prevent automation from amplifying process failures.
I start with a representative sample and the workflows that consume the most time or create the most uncertainty. I identify data gaps, prioritize improvements and design justified rules. Implementation, documentation and training can be included in the same engagement.
In a fraud detection project, I worked with approximately 3,000 payments and 1,232 users to calibrate signals. I also built an investigation index from approximately 24,450 profiles and implemented automation with compliance approval and escalation criteria. These figures describe project scale and deliverables.
