I’m Austin J. Koebbe, the heart behind Koebbe Insights, shaped by my lifelong curiosity about systems that shape our lives. My journey into cybersecurity began with a Google Professional Certificate, followed by Microsoft and LinkedIn System Administrator training. Over time, I’ve honed skills in threat analysis, digital forensics, and OSINT, often sifting through public records via FOIA to uncover hidden truths.

It started with a simple question: why do some systems fail us while others thrive? That led me to blend technical expertise with ethical oversight, tracking down fraud, waste, and digital missteps—often where no one else looks. I’ve coded light tools to organize data and spent countless hours verifying facts, all while keeping privacy and transparency at the core. Living in a small community, I saw the need for accountability firsthand, fueling my commitment to empower others without political bias or corporate ties.

My process is hands-on: I dig into raw data, cross-check sources, and build resources to make sense of it all. From decoding government files to crafting civic tools, I aim to bridge the gap between complex systems and everyday people. This isn’t just work—it’s a personal mission to light the way in a digital world that’s often opaque.
