HEY THERE, I'M TREVOR

Hey there! I’m Trevor Balthrop. I am a Fraud Operations Analyst and a Trust & Safety expert with more than a decade of experience in specialized investigations. My career has taken me through industry leaders like Google, Square, and DoorDash. During this time, I have developed a deep understanding of fraud detection, policy enforcement, and compliance.

My specialties include financial fraud investigations, AML/KYC compliance, chargeback disputes, and account monitoring. My skills also include specialized investigations involving complex cases that require advanced analytical skills, decision-making, and investigative techniques. In my free time, I like to use Python and SQL for data analysis where I explore patterns and anomalies to enhance fraud detection. I also familiarize myself with tools like LexisNexis to strengthen investigative techniques. I have worked closely with legal teams, law enforcement, and regulatory bodies to protect both businesses and consumers.

I am very passionate about data-driven decision-making and enhancing fraud prevention strategies to build safer, efficient, and more trustworthy systems. My focus is always on protecting financial integrity and ensuring compliance. Whether I am analyzing suspicious activity, streamlining a process, leading high-level investigations, or improving trust and safety frameworks, I remain committed to this goal.

With over ten years of experience in the field, I will bring to you my thoughts and experiences from the world of digital crime as I see it.
