02 About Career, capabilities, and the through-line

Analyst by Instinct, Analyst by Design.

Four years across the AML chain: frontline, second-line, and system design.

I'm Binaya Neupane, a Financial Crime Professional working across regulated wagering and gaming. My experience spans AML/CTF, fraud, investigations, data analytics, and technology-enabled risk transformation.

I focus on building practical financial crime controls: cleaner data, sharper monitoring, better workflows, and systems investigators can actually use.

Below is the work I've shipped, and the toolkit behind it.

02.1 Built In-house tooling shipped to production

What I've designed and shipped, in-house, in production.

  1. 01

    Interim TM Solution

    in-house build

    Designed and delivered monitoring across Uncarded and Carded play through development of SQL scripts and stored procedures. Reduced manual investigations from hours to minutes, achieved 30%+ conversion rate in selected typologies, and contributed to an increase in SMR submissions.

  2. 02

    Interim CRA Engine

    in-house build

    Designed and built a scorecard-based engine using static and dynamic risk attributes to support risk-based customer profiling ahead of the financial crime platform implementation.

  3. 03

    Investigator Intelligence View

    in-house build

    Created a consolidated, at-a-glance investigation view by bringing together multiple data sources to support faster and better-informed investigations.

  4. 04

    ETL for Data Ingestion

    in-house build

    Designed and built ETL pipelines to ingest, normalise and structure raw data from multiple sources into the financial crime data model. The spine that fed monitoring, CRA, and the investigation view.
