## About

```text
At Forward Defense, I conduct OSINT and cyber threat intelligence assessments across surface, social, and dark web environments to identify risks affecting corporate assets, leadership, and stakeholders.

I monitor TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook for socio-political trends and shifts in public sentiment. I also investigate impersonation, domain spoofing, leaked credentials, and digital footprint exposure, producing structured intelligence briefings and risk assessments.

As an Independent Financial Intelligence & Cryptocurrency Forensics Analyst, I conducted international blockchain and cryptocurrency investigations, including wallet analysis, dark web research, and leak monitoring. I prepared reports documenting transaction flows and risk exposure.

Earlier, as a Junior OSINT Intelligence Analyst, I conducted investigations involving missing persons and fraud networks, verified sources, and prepared structured reports. I hold a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) from University Malaysia of Computer Science & Engineering (UNIMY), and my final-year project SukarelawanMY received the Best Product Award.
