Harmful Information · Detection, Triage & Policy

I monitor harmful information in humanitarian emergencies — and build the systems that keep that monitoring honest.

I'm a Senior Officer for Communications Monitoring and Analysis at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Geneva. My work sits where information risk meets humanitarian operations: impersonation and donation-scam campaigns during disasters, health disinformation during outbreaks, narratives that put field staff at risk.

When the tooling I needed didn't exist, I built it — three autonomous detection-and-triage pipelines on the Claude API, running daily through a live public-health emergency. I also work the institutional side of the same problem: co-drafting the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement's 2026 resolution on harmful information, and supporting the launch of its joint Movement Hub on Harmful Information.
