Portfolio Case Studies

Turning challenges into product solutions.

Architecting the AML/CFT Program

Project Lead, Senior Due Diligence Analyst

The Problem

The company required a compliant Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism program to meet federal regulations and manage risk.

My Actions (The Product Process)

I led research into federal regulations, designed a structured set of policies, collaborated with stakeholders across sales and onboarding, and implemented the program with comprehensive documentation and training.

The Result

A fully compliant AML/CFT program that standardized risk management and became a core part of the company's operational integrity.

Foundation Building

Translated complex federal regulations into actionable company policy.

Automating Quarterly Rescreening

Process Owner, Senior Due Diligence Analyst

The Problem

The quarterly rescreening process was manual, taking 2 hours per cycle. This was inefficient, prone to error, and unscalable.

My Actions (The Product Process)

I identified workflow bottlenecks and designed data for an automated report. I submitted this concept (one of over 30 JIRA ideas) and worked with the data team to implement and test a solution that pulled, cleaned, and compiled data automatically.

The Result

Reduced the task time from 2 hours to 5 minutes, freeing up the team to focus on high-value risk analysis and strategic initiatives.

Enhancing Onboarding with Risk Scoring

System Designer, Senior Due Diligence Analyst

The Problem

High-risk accounts and fraudulent actors were identified too late, wasting company resources and leading to fraud. A proactive screening method was needed.

My Actions (The Product Process)

I conceptualized and designed three key features: a centralized compliance watchlist, a comprehensive underwriting process, and a data-driven risk-scoring model for new accounts. I then tracked the performance of these tools post-launch.

The Results (Quantified)

Led to a 233% increase in prevented fraud, a 166% increase in identified high-risk accounts, and a 65% increase in valuable data added to the watchlist.

Data-Driven Prevention

Created proactive tools that delivered measurable security and efficiency gains.

Trevor Key

From Investigator to Innovator

My career began in the world of due diligence, compliance, and risk management. As a Senior Due Diligence Analyst, I spent years on the front lines investigating complex cases, mitigating risk, and ensuring the integrity of our financial systems.

I soon discovered a passion not just for finding problems, but for building the solutions to prevent them. This drive to optimize, automate, and create better user experiences led me to my role as an Associate Product Manager.

My background has given me a unique lens: I build products from a foundation of security and trust. When I'm not working, I'm exploring my own product ideas, like Finlit.day.
