ATTN: Hiring Manager
Dear Hiring Manager at Palantir,
With nearly two decades of investigative experience, I have developed a deep expertise in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), digital forensics, and risk analysis, making me well-suited to support Palantir’s mission of delivering intelligence-driven security solutions. As the Owner and Lead Investigator of Waterford Investigations, I have taken the initiative to broaden my education in the field of Artificial Intelligence and continue to add to my skill set by regularly utilizing this technology. By combining AI with my extensive experience in OSINT-driven investigations, I bring to your team the ability to extract and analyze data to identify emerging threats, provide strategic insights, and offer actionable solutions.
Although I have been very successful as an independent operator in my profession, I am ready for a broader range of challenges in a larger organization.
One highlight of my professional development includes hands-on experience leveraging AI-powered analytical tools such as Rapid Miner, Dataiku and Knime. I have successfully applied these skills in real-world investigations, identifying threat actors, analyzing social media and deep/dark web activity, and uncovering critical intelligence for law enforcement and legal professionals. Additionally, my background in forensic human remains identification, crime scene analysis, and intelligence gathering has honed my ability to assess complex security challenges with precision. My expertise in threat detection, combined with my ability to collaborate with law enforcement and intelligence agencies, further positions me to provide valuable insights into adversarial tactics and emerging risks.
I am eager to bring my OSINT expertise, investigative acumen, and data-driven analytical skills to Palantir’s team. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience aligns with Palantir’s innovative approach to intelligence-driven solutions and would contribute to your operations.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Brendan P. O’Neill
