A brief introduction

A 28-year-old Compliance & Regulatory Affairs Officer reading for law — combining technical, analytical, and legal foundations to operate at the most demanding edge of financial regulation.

I've spent the past six years working across the spectrum of financial crime and regulatory compliance — starting as a FinCrime Analyst, progressing through Investigations, then Compliance Officer, and now leading Compliance & Regulatory Affairs. Every role has added a new dimension to how I think about risk, evidence, and the systems that keep institutions safe.

My work is grounded in international standards — particularly the ISO 27001 / 27002 framework for information security, where I'm certified as Internal Auditor by TÜV Rheinland Group. I'm also familiar with ISO 9001 quality management principles, and hold further credentials from ACAMS, Chainalysis, the Basel Institute on Governance, and the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice (Certified Mediator).

I'm now pursuing law at Burgas Free University to formalize the legal reasoning I rely on every day — and to bridge the worlds of practitioner and counsel.
