If you need a freelance investigative journalist who can verify sources, trace corporate records, analyze public databases, and turn fragmented information into structured, evidence-backed reports, I can help.
My work speaks for itself. Across projects, I consistently:
• Conducted investigative reporting involving corporate entities, aviation companies, executives, financial relationships, and cross-border business structures using OSINT methods, public records, and regulatory filings.
• Produced evidence-backed investigative reports involving fraud allegations, reputational investigations, corporate structure analysis, executive background investigations, and entity relationship tracing.
• Researched and developed investigative reports using public records, regulatory filings, archived sources, company databases, and OSINT workflows to support documentary-style reporting and publication-ready investigative narratives.
• Delivered structured investigative findings by reconstructing timelines, verifying conflicting claims, tracing corporate affiliations, and organizing fragmented information into defensible research summaries.
• Reduced misinformation and credibility risks by cross-checking claims across multiple databases, archived web records, public filings, and source documentation.
