I have extensive experience with tools like SQL, Python, and Tableau, which I’ve used to analyze large datasets and identify patterns indicative of fraudulent activity. For instance, I developed a predictive model using Python to flag high-risk transactions, reducing fraud losses by 15%. My approach involves combining data visualization with statistical analysis to provide actionable insights, ensuring the SIU team can respond swiftly to potential threats.

I prioritize data accuracy by implementing rigorous validation processes, such as cross-referencing multiple data sources and using automated scripts to detect anomalies. I also maintain detailed documentation of data transformations and ensure compliance with data governance policies. Regular audits and peer reviews further enhance integrity, ensuring the insights derived are reliable and actionable for fraud investigations.

I tailor my communication by simplifying technical jargon and using visual aids like dashboards and infographics to convey key insights. For example, I created an interactive Tableau dashboard to present fraud trends to executives, enabling them to make informed decisions. I also provide context and actionable recommendations, ensuring stakeholders understand the implications of the data and how it aligns with organizational goals.

I stay current by attending industry conferences, participating in webinars, and enrolling in online courses on platforms like Coursera. I also follow thought leaders and subscribe to publications like the Journal of Fraud Analytics. This continuous learning helps me integrate advanced techniques, such as machine learning and AI, into my work, enhancing the SIU’s ability to detect and prevent fraud effectively.

In a previous role, I analyzed transaction data and identified a pattern of small, recurring payments to a suspicious account. My findings led to the discovery of an internal fraud scheme involving an employee. By presenting the evidence to the SIU, we were able to recover funds and implement stricter controls, preventing future occurrences. This experience highlights my ability to translate data into actionable outcomes that protect the organization.
