Dennis Keefe
@denniskeefe
I’m an OSINT and cybersecurity investigator delivering actionable threat intelligence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented investigator and security professional with 20+ years spanning law enforcement, digital investigations, and technical operations. I leverage Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) methodology, cybersecurity frameworks, and advanced research techniques to produce actionable intelligence.
In my current OSINT research-focused role, I analyze program data and student trends to support enrollment strategies and translate technology program outcomes into clear insights for decision-making. I focus on rigorous research, structured reporting, and results you can act on.
Previously, I served as a WordPress Developer & Security Analyst, conducting digital security audits to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities protecting sensitive client data. I used web research tools to track digital footprints, implemented proactive security plugins and hardening strategies, and applied practical technical skills across networks, Linux/Bash scripting, and Python.
I’ve also built my leadership through supervisory and field-training experience, including managing teams, mentoring new personnel on intelligence gathering and procedural compliance, and overseeing complex operations and budgeting. Now, I’m seeking an OSINT Analyst position where I can apply investigative rigor and technical expertise to complex threat environments.
