@alextrollen
Multilingual intelligence analyst focused on real-time risk response and AI-driven insights.
What I'm looking for
I am a multilingual analyst with operational experience in high-stakes control environments and an academic specialism in Ukraine and Eastern Europe geopolitics. I combine fluent English, Ukrainian and Russian with practical incident-monitoring experience, having supported real-time threat escalation, translated for officials, and produced research-quality insights on wartime infrastructure and aid effectiveness.
I graduated top of my MA International Business Management cohort with an 80% distinction for my thesis on Ukraine's road infrastructure during conflict, and I have hands-on experience using ITS tools, KPI analysis, and coordinating multicultural teams. I am keen to apply AI-powered analysis and early-stage intelligence workflows to strengthen timely decision-making and multilingual data insight for organisations focused on regional security, humanitarian response, or policy research.
