Privacy Expert at Cyber Insider
I have over 30 years experience as an Electrical Engineer, Technical Writer, and Documentation Manager. I worked in technical areas including avionics, systems integration, mobile software, SaaS. Several years ago I left the corporate world to care for sick parents. I supported myself building websites, writing technical “how-to” books, and leading online courses. Now, with family issues behind me, I have the time to take on some freelance clients. My atypical career path taught me to work well with a wide range of clients and audiences. Clients like Honeywell and Microsoft, McGraw-Hill and other book publishers, even pre-IPO startups. Audiences from computer beginners, to B2B buyers, to engineers building aircraft systems. I'm skilled at learning complex technologies like VPNs and cryptocurrencies. And I excel at turning that raw data into understandable content for a target audience. I am looking to contribute to projects that need these skills. I'm particularly interested in subjects that empower individuals such as online privacy.

Founder at Argus Intel
I run Argus Intel, a business intelligence firm based in Ukraine. We verify counterparties before deals close: who actually owns a company, whether it appears on sanctions lists, what litigation and debts sit behind it, and whether its supply chain runs through russia. Most of this work happens in public records. Corporate registries, court decisions, procurement databases and sanctions lists are open in most jurisdictions. The difficulty is not access, but knowing which layers contradict each other. Topics I can speak to: — How sanctions screening fails in practice, usually one level below the direct counterparty — Why a clean company extract answers a far narrower question than buyers assume — Asset tracing when a debtor moves value across borders — What war-time compliance looks like from inside Ukraine, rather than from a policy paper — Red flags in ownership structures: nominees, shell layers, recent transfers of shares Clients are companies, investors and law firms in Ukraine, the EU, UK, Georgia and the UAE. We work with open sources only, and we publish our pricing, which is unusual in this industry.
