Co-founded and built a real-time fraud prevention platform for financial institutions — dark web monitoring, compromised card intelligence, and proactive threat detection at scale.

As Co-Founder and CTO of Mindwise, I built a real-time fraud prevention and threat intelligence platform serving banks, credit unions, payment processors, and federal law enforcement.

The platform continuously monitored over 1,000 dark web sources — underground marketplaces, forums, and threat actor channels — to identify compromised financial data before it could be used. When stolen card data surfaced, the system matched partial card information against client portfolios using an integration with LexisNexis, enabling institutions to proactively block and reissue affected cards. Alerts were delivered in under an hour, months ahead of what traditional security vendors could offer.

Clients included Golden One Credit Union, BancFirst, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service Cybercrime Division, where intelligence from the platform was used to identify and prosecute vendors trafficking stolen financial data on the darknet.

The platform processed billions of transactions, maintained sub-50ms detection speeds, and helped clients reduce fraud losses significantly. Built on Postgres, TypeScript, Firebase, and Playwright-based automation for intelligence gathering at scale.
