Guardians of the Flow: Mastering Anti-Money Laundering
In today's interconnected global economy, the flow of money knows no bounds. While this connectivity brings countless opportunities, it also opens the door to a shadowy realm of financial crime that threatens the very foundations of our financial systems. Money launderers, fraudsters, and illicit actors constantly seek to exploit vulnerabilities in our financial institutions, jeopardizing the integrity of transactions and the trust upon which our economies are built.
In this ever-evolving landscape, the role of anti-money laundering (AML) specialists and transaction monitoring professionals is of paramount importance. This book, "Guardians of the Flow," is the culmination of my years of experience as a data science leader and my journey as an ACAMS certified AML specialist. It is a comprehensive guide that delves deep into the world of AML and transaction monitoring, offering insights, strategies, and practical knowledge to empower individuals and institutions in the fight against financial crime.

Experimentation of message passing system in Oracle for the CASTOR Project: CERN Openlab
The project’s objective was the development of logging procedures inside the PL/SQL context in the database, similar to the ones in the DLF. The log messages will be posted in message queues using Oracle’s Advanced Queues and object representation. A simple C++ bridge daemon would then forward the log messages inside the DLF system, allowing a full logging of the events in castor’s flow control. This functionality has already been implemented with other means before the start of this project, which has been scaled down to study implementation of Oracle Advanced queues, for potential use in Castor implementation in the future.
