I also work in cyber threat intelligence using OSINT to support security and risk decisions, and I’m strong in turning ambiguity into clear priorities and next I use practical methodologies like Advanced Jobs-to-be-Done focused on customer needs, design sprints, UX interviews, and quantitative research. I translate findings into product, positioning, messaging, proof requirements, and decision-ready I bring a solid technical and storytelling foundation from earlier roles in technical support and fintech journalism. I use AI-assisted workflows in IDE environments (Cursor/Zed), choose best-fit models per task, and apply quality checks so outputs stay accurate and traceable.
