@kylegraves
I am an OSINT expert enabling SOF with technical tradecraft.
What I'm looking for
I have 10+ years supporting Special Operations Forces across tactical, strategic, and training environments, driving OSINT tradecraft, tools, and enterprise training. I am a trusted advisor to senior leadership, FVEY partners, and interagency stakeholders, and I maintain a TS/SCI clearance while leading capability development and modernization efforts.
I develop and deliver PAI/CAI collection and exploitation workflows, formalize requirements, and provide acquisition support across program lifecycles. I have led training that graduated analysts, produced high‑impact assessments and reports briefed to senior command, and supervised analytic teams in deployed and reach-back missions.
