I haven’t always been a biomedical equipment technician. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — from warehouse associate, to tech support, back to the warehouse, and later promoted to conveyor specialist. Eventually, I transitioned into the biomedical field, first working with dialysis equipment and now specializing in IV pumps.

“The answers are out there — you just need to know where to look.“

Looking back, there’s one skill that has followed me through every role: finding answers to problems. Whether it’s troubleshooting a microwave that keeps tripping a fuse or replacing the starter on a Honda CR-V, I’ve always been willing to dive in, learn, and solve the issue.

That same mindset eventually led me into cybersecurity. I started out exploring penetration testing, curious about how systems could be broken into and secured. But along the way, I discovered OSINT — and it instantly clicked with me. The idea of uncovering information hidden in plain sight, piecing together digital clues, and building actionable intelligence was far more engaging than I expected.

Since then, OSINT has become my main focus. I’ve pursued training, completed the Practical OSINT Research Professional (PORP) certification, and started conducting my own investigations — from scam detection to digital footprint analysis. To keep sharpening my skills, I’m also studying under Mishaal Khan’s OSINT courses, gaining new techniques and approaches I can apply to real-world cases.

Each investigation feels like solving a complex puzzle, and for me, there’s nothing more satisfying than connecting the final pieces. NovaTraceHQ is the result of that passion — a place where I can share my journey, document investigations, and contribute to the growing OSINT community.
