I had a great conversation with Syed Ali Turab, an IBM Cyber Security Engineer who uses OSINT to help find missing people outside his full-time role at IBM. He has an amazing story full of determination, setbacks and overcoming failure. He is an inspiring individual who wants to help and give back to the community.
