Project Organization

Countering Terrorism Financing through AI

Problem

Financial intelligence investigations are often siloed across institutions and data systems, which limits early detection and coordinated analysis.

Work

I contributed to a multidisciplinary team that designed and validated AI-assisted investigation workflows, with emphasis on graph-based relationships and usable analyst outputs.

Delivery

The work delivered a clear product and analytics direction that can be extended into operational FIU tooling in future phases.
