What I'm looking for

I seek temp, full-time, or remote roles in the Netherlands that leverage OSINT, investigations, and IT operations within collaborative, mission-focused teams offering clear impact and growth.

I am a certified OSINT investigator and security professional with over 15 years of experience across security operations, IT support, teaching, and maintenance. I apply ethical open-source intelligence methods, data analysis, and trend analysis to trace assets, vet partners, and reduce risk for clients.

My background includes conducting hundreds of investigations using CCTV and interviews, managing IT for multi-site learning centers, developing STEM curricula, and training security teams and students. I draw on military discipline from service as a 2nd Class Petty Officer with TS/SCI eligibility to deliver reliable, precise results.

I am a native English speaker actively learning Dutch and seeking temporary, full-time, or remote roles in the Netherlands where I can combine investigative expertise, IT operational knowledge, and instructional experience to support organizational safety and informed decision-making.
