Building in Public as a Trust & Safety Professional
Trust & Safety work happens behind closed doors, for good reason: case details, victim data, and adversarial tactics don't belong in public. But that confidentiality has a side effect — our craft is nearly invisible. Recruiters can't see it, peers can't learn from it, and the discipline itself advances slower than it should.
This site is my answer to that.
What I'll share
- Frameworks, not cases. How I think about risk strategy, investigation workflows, and fraud automation — abstracted away from any specific platform or incident.
- Technical build logs. What I'm learning in Python, SQL, and AI-driven workflows, including the projects I build along the way.
- Career notes. Honest writing about a decade in marketplace Trust & Safety, remote work, and the builder path.
What I won't share
Anything that identifies a user, a case, or a specific adversarial technique that's still live. The line is simple: if it would help an adversary or expose a person, it stays private.
Why bother?
Because the best opportunities in my career came from people who already understood how I think. Writing is how that understanding scales. If you're a recruiter, a fellow investigator, or just fraud-curious — welcome, and thanks for reading.
