Trace information origin
Record where a statement was encountered before drawing conclusions from it.
Where experience meets engineering
Technical insight shaped by a different professional past.
My former work in cyber-related investigations now supports software architecture, educational material and computing advice rather than investigations for clients.
A change of professional focus
An unusual technical background
Past investigative work, present-day software practice.
I previously worked as a private investigator specialising in computer-related matters, at a time when online research and cybercrime techniques were emerging as distinct fields. That experience introduced me to the difficulties of interpreting digital records, checking provenance and explaining technical processes.
The Cyberdétective trademark was filed in 2016. The activity presented through this website was established in 2019 and has evolved towards technical consulting, software creation and professional learning.
Today I help individuals and organisations work with technology. I do not accept assignments to investigate named persons on behalf of clients.
Lessons applied to engineering
How a background becomes a design advantage
Working with unreliable or incomplete information encourages software that shows its sources, limits and checkpoints.
Present auditable steps
Help users recognise inputs, processing stages and generated outputs.
Explain uncertainty
Prevent a technical-looking interface from conveying confidence the evidence does not support.
What is offered now
A computer consultant with specialist subject knowledge
Software, training and general digital assistance form the current offering. Work requiring regulated private-investigation authorisation falls outside it.
01
Technical implementation
Programs, web services, integrations, documentation and reproducible task sequences.
02
Accessible learning
Open-source research methodology, cybercrime awareness and guidance for using software effectively.
03
Broader computing advice
Web projects, search optimisation, AI exploration and assistance with everyday information systems.
Historical clarity
An international media history
Earlier stages of the Cyberdétective journey were mentioned in publications beyond France. The media page will contain only entries for which an attributable source has been confirmed.
Source-based references
Publications are intended to be indexed with their original title, publisher, date and verifiable link.

Historical coverage of investigation work should not be read as an offer of that regulated activity today.
