Jaber Al-Kasem
I genuinely enjoy data analysis and harnessing the power of publicly available data through programming tools. I bring experience in data processing, structuring, mining, and managing various database types to my role. My expertise in open-source investigations includes tracking individuals and entities worldwide, monitoring changes over time, and analyzing the activities of high-ranking government officials and business leaders.
I am proficient in analyzing images and videos, as well as geolocating them using satellite imagery and other open-source data. As a skilled fact-checker, I excel in gathering and cross-referencing primary and secondary data to uncover missing connections. My previous experience in data entry, combined with my current pursuit of a Computer Engineering degree at Şırnak University in Türkiye, provides me with a strong technical foundation for my work.
