My name is Cody J. Wilson. I am an analyst and researcher combining my expertise in U.S. national security policy, political science, and international affairs along with skills in data analytics to tackle pressing societal problems. Over the last twelve years, I have developed expert quantitative and qualitative research skills, extensive analytical experience studying terrorism and the devastating effects of conflict, and a diverse toolkit of technical proficiencies. Today, I am leveraging my unique background to transition from the field of national security consulting into the field of analytics and data science, with the goal of making the world a better, safer place through data and the rigorous application of computational solutions.

I possess a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Master of Science degree in global studies and international relations from Northeastern University. As an analyst, I worked with both the U.S. and Canadian militaries; drafted reports and attack attributions used in federal litigation; helped create and run eight successful wargames; co-authored an in-depth report on modern information operation tactics, techniques, and procedures; co-authored an article published in Lawfare; produced a cybersecurity-focused tabletop exercise; served as a project manager; and much more. More recently, I became a consultant with the same company, where I worked closely with colleagues to facilitate another wargame, led the creation of a series of multiple analytical reports focused on online threats for a client, and subsequently created a technical training regimen to teach other analysts to do the same type of technically-focused work. If you're intersted in some of the more in-depth work that I've done, feel free to read more of my work on my website or connect with me on LinkedIn.
