Combining investigative expertise with technical innovation to solve complex security challenges
I'm Patrick Quirk, a cybersecurity professional and licensed private investigator with expertise in incident response, OSINT/GEOINT intelligence, and threat analysis. With a Master's degree in Cybersecurity Management and a Bachelor's in Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking (both Magna Cum Laude), I bring a unique blend of investigative skills and technical expertise to solve complex security challenges.
My career spans incident response analysis at the University of Miami (reducing response time by 80%), OSINT research supporting U.S. military operations at Torchlight, skip tracing coordination at Proof (98% success rate), and founding Spencer Investigations—a licensed PI agency with a 98% case resolution rate across 100+ complex investigations.
I'm fluent in French, Spanish, and Italian, with conversational German. Beyond my professional work, I'm passionate about building innovative tools that bridge cybersecurity, data intelligence, and visualization—as demonstrated in my project portfolio below.
I'm currently seeking opportunities in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or OSINT where I can leverage my investigative background and technical skills to protect organizations and solve challenging problems.
