About Calvin Ohnemus

I build sanctions and export programs designed for the speed of high-growth tech. With 10+ years of experience including at AWS and Okta, I specialize in the intersection of global regulatory policy (OFAC, BIS, EU, UK) and technical execution.My focus is moving compliance upstream and making it as frictionless as possible by architecting API-driven controls, automated adjudication that protect organizations without creating bottlenecks.I don't just manage policy; I tune the logic and create efficiency. From re-engineering screening triggers to achieve a 25% volume reduction to leveraging AI-driven models that slashed false positives by 65%, I am passionate about data-driven risk management that scales.Core Expertise - Compliance Governance & Strategy: Multi-Jurisdictional Sanctions Regimes (OFAC/EU/UK), EAR/ITAR, Encryption Controls & Risk Assessment FrameworksSanctions Systems Architecture: API Integration & Screening, Algorithm Tuning & Optimization, False Positive Reduction & Workflow AutomationData & Analytics: Forensic Research & KPI/KRI MetricsAdditionally, I am a big outdoor enthusiast and can be found mountain biking and searching for deep powder snow in my free time.
