Experience
Throughout my career, I've delved deep into the world of online financial ecosystems, honing my skills in identifying, investigating, and mitigating a myriad of risks ranging from money laundering and fraud to intellectual property infringement. My work has been pivotal in addressing concerns related to incitement to violence, illicit sales of weapons components, rogue pharmacies, and ensuring compliance across diverse jurisdictions for gambling and financial trading platforms. Additionally, I've tackled the emerging challenges posed by deepfake technology and rigorously assessed web and mobile application functionalities to safeguard user interests.
My approach has always been methodical and data-driven, employing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Unique Cyber Identity (UCID) techniques to keep abreast of ongoing operations and threats. Through meticulous database queries, I've been able to extract actionable insights, crucial for informed decision-making. My commitment to excellence is further exemplified in my ability to test, analyze, and compile comprehensive reports on target sites, ensuring they meet global regulations and industry standards.
Collaboration and continuous improvement are the cornerstones of my professional ethos. I've worked alongside cross-functional teams to develop and refine long-term investigative strategies, enhancing operational efficiency and effectiveness. By continuously reviewing and reporting on technological trends, I provide valuable insights that drive strategic procurement and policy-making decisions.
