I spent 3+ years as an Information Systems Researcher II at the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), the Philippine government's national cybercrime agency. My daily work was investigations — unmasking impersonators and fraud rings, tracking hacking groups and running forensics after ransomware hits on national agencies.
I'm now looking for remote work with US-based teams and can commit to US hours.
What I can do for you:
Fraud & impersonation investigations — I cross-reference profiles, contact details, and transaction histories across social media and payment platforms to identify who's actually behind an account, and use graph analysis to map out whether they're working alone or as part of a ring.
OSINT & background research — Deep-dive research on people, companies, and online networks using open sources. I've done this on scam hubs, illegal gambling operations, and threat actors, and the same methods work for vendor vetting, due diligence, hiring checks, and brand impersonation takedowns.
Digital forensics (DFIR) — Cellebrite, FTK Imager, and Autopsy, with proper chain-of-custody handling. I've delivered post-incident forensics for 15 national government agencies.
Threat intelligence & monitoring — Recurring reports on threat actors, dark web and hacking forum monitoring, and attribution work. Tools I use regularly: VirusTotal, -----------n, -----------, Spamhaus, AlienVault OTX, Snusbase, OSINT Industries, Meltwater, ELK Stack.
Report writing — This is a big part of what I did. I briefed executives and law enforcement partners with reports that had to be clear enough to act on immediately. You'll get findings you can actually use, not a dump of raw data.
Education: BS Information Systems, University of Rizal System. Career Service Professional (Civil Service Commission). Additional certifications from the National White Collar Crime Center and PNP Intelligence Group.
