I work at the intersection of data engineering, digital investigation, and
information analysis. My work focuses on how influence operations move through
social platforms, search results, podcasts, broadcast ecosystems, and the wider
information environment. I build practical systems that help researchers move from
collection to normalization to analysis without losing context.
