What I'm looking for

I'm looking for work focused on due diligence, OSINT, risk monitoring, and strategic reporting, where I can turn verified information into practical risk assessments and decision support.

At Castor Vali Africa, I conduct supplier due diligence, manage Open-es supplier assessments and sustainability data, and use Salesforce to maintain compliant, reliable supplier records. I also support investigative OSINT research and communicate structured findings for risk assessments.

I've produced intelligence briefs for Saladin Security and UNODC, supported fraud detection at Equity Bank, and built monitoring dashboards for Kenya's court-annexed mediation rollout across 40+ court stations.
