Most complex problems are not solved by finding one missing fact. They are solved by finding the right information, verifying it, organizing it, and figuring out what the record actually supports. I’m an investigator, analyst, and problem solver with a background in financial-crime investigations, open-source and public-record research, sanctions screening, due diligence, timeline reconstruction, entity research, and complex records analysis. I work best when the facts are unclear, the records are messy, or the path forward is uncertain. Depending on the assignment, I can investigate, reconstruct, analyze, organize, verify, and write — whether the issue involves financial activity, public records, business entities, disputed facts, background research, asset indicators, or evidence review. Core services: Investigative research & due diligence — people, companies, entities, public records, adverse information, and source validation Financial investigation & records reconstruction — transactions, entities, timelines, account activity, and supporting documentation Dispute & litigation support — evidence review, chronology development, factual memos, and case organization Risk, fraud & compliance analysis — sanctions screening, red-flag identification, adverse media, and investigative summaries My work is designed to answer practical questions: What can be verified? What matters? What is unsupported? What leads are worth pursuing? And when is the record too weak, incomplete, or contradictory to justify spending more? The work starts with the source material, not a preferred narrative. If further work is likely to add value, I’ll identify the next logical steps. If it is not, I’ll say so directly rather than bill for unnecessary digging. Comfortable working under NDAs and handling sensitive materials with strict confidentiality.
