Background

About Matthew Parks

Graduate of the School of Technology and Engineering at East Carolina University. I am currently with Wells Fargo as a Financial crimes investigator with hands-on experience in transaction monitoring, anomaly detection, and investigations in regulated financial environments. I currently work in financial crimes at Wells Fargo, where I investigate suspicious activity, support fraud prevention efforts, and collaborate closely with compliance, risk, audit, and legal teams. I also bring a cybersecurity foundation with experience in SIEM/log analysis (Splunk), network traffic analysis (Wireshark), and security operations workflows from enterprise security and SOC-style environments. My background sits at the intersection of financial crime, platform safety, and security operations, with a focus on identifying suspicious behavior, reducing risk, and protecting users and systems. I’m interested in roles across trust & safety, surveillance, fraud/abuse, risk operations, and security operations where strong investigation, pattern recognition, and cross-functional communication matter.
