Hi there 👋
I am OSINT enthusiast with a background in cybersecurity and software development. 🔐
⚒️ I started getting into OSINT in 2015, by making tools for information gathering and processing. Check the links below or visit my repositories page.
🎙️ Since 2018 I've been talking about OSINT, search methods, and privacy at public events. You can look at some of my talks on my YouTube channel.
🎥 Later I founded the OSINT mindset community (2020 - first post, 2022 - first meetup). The community has 15K subscribers, almost 4K members of Investigation Forum, and dozens of active members and speakers. You can watch records of talks from monthly meetups on YouTube, listen OSINT mindset podcasts on platforms, and read the excellent wiki on Gitbook.
💼 Currently, I lead a team of OSINT experts in the Center of Excellence of Social Links: we conduct investigations, teach OSINT, and help to develop new methods and tools.
✍️ Some of my articles and guides you can find in the Telegram channel of OSINT mindset community and here on GitHub.
