I mostly post longer stuff on Medium and quick updates on Reddit. Here's a collection of everything in one place.
Deep Dives: Why I'm Combining My Love for the Sea with OSINT
My first (and maybe only) post on Medium. Talking about why maritime OSINT is the most underrated niche, and what I've been building. If you found me from my GitHub, you know I've been working on some Python scripts to track vessels...

New ADS-B Setup
Finally got my SDR antenna working on the roof. Picking up flights within 200nm already. The signal clarity at night is incredible — almost zero interference once the local radio stations power down.
Next step: combining ADS-B data with AIS feeds for a unified air-sea tracker. Imagine seeing both vessels and aircraft on the same map, color-coded by type. That's the dream.

New year, new project. My goal for 2026: build a complete maritime intelligence dashboard using only open-source tools and freely available data. No paid APIs, no proprietary feeds — just public AIS data, satellite imagery, and a lot of Python.
I've been sharing daily progress logs and some photos on my Reddit profile. Same username as everywhere else — come say hi.

People ask me why I spend hours watching dots move across a map. Here's the thing: every dot is a story. A container ship rerouting around a storm. A fishing vessel straying into protected waters. A research vessel heading to a trench nobody's explored in decades.
OSINT isn't just about finding people or catching bad actors. Sometimes it's about understanding the invisible systems that keep the world running. And most of those systems float.
