About Me

I'm not a developer by trade, but I build tools that solve real problems for journalists and researchers. My work focuses on OSINT and data exploration, creating browser extensions and utilities that make investigative work more efficient.

With a background in journalism and training, I understand the challenges researchers face—and I code solutions for them.
