Since February 2022
Volunteer Work
Brussels
- What started as a simple idea to translate telegram channels and aggregate two information ecosystems on Telegram turned out to be an amazing ride to build tools with low-code to no-code frameworks and apps to allow OSINTukraine.com to provide archives of Russian and Ukrainian telegram channels on the open web.
- Automation is 100% handled by N8N and translation by DeepL, allowing the best translation possible given the context of war and the unique environment of information warfare.
