About David
I help clients turn publicly available information into clear, practical insight. I have 15 years of experience in OSINT research, geopolitical and security analysis, source verification, and intelligence reporting, with a particular focus on Russia, the former Soviet space, Europe, and NATO-related issues.
I enjoy digging into complex questions, checking sources carefully, and presenting findings in a way that is easy to understand and useful for decision-making. I can support research projects, media and social-media monitoring, risk assessments, background research, and concise written reports or briefings. I work comfortably with international teams and bring native Georgian, fluent Russian, and fluent English language skills.
