# Euan Smith BSc Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics · Technological University Dublin Researcher and software developer in Dublin. Right now that means counter-disinformation tooling for EDMO Ireland, a home lab, and more GitHub repos than free evenings. ## About I'm an interdisciplinary polymath: a researcher and software developer who studies cybersecurity at Technological University Dublin. A lot of my work sits where security meets European politics. For EDMO Ireland I built the data analysis for a foreign interference investigation and a weekly fact-check pipeline. I'm on Ireland's team in the EU-funded ChangingTIDE programme in Brussels, and the Council of Europe selected me for its youth disinformation initiative in Strasbourg. Outside that, I build automation tools that turn a profit and run a home lab that mirrors production environments. I'm drawn to complex systems, how they fail, how they can be exploited, and how to make them resilient. I follow threads others overlook, sit with problems until patterns emerge, and rarely accept “that’s just how it works” as an answer.

Researcher & Software Developer · June 2026 – Present. EDMO is the EU's hub for countering disinformation: a network of fact-checkers, academics, and researchers across every member state, with the Irish team based at DCU's FuJo Institute. I work with the Irish team as a researcher and software developer. - Delivered the data analysis for a foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) investigation: built the collection pipeline, normalised 25,300+ articles into structured datasets, and measured authorship and source attribution on a random sample with confidence intervals, alongside domain registration and hosting analysis across the network. Shipped as a ten-sheet workbook in which every published rate recomputes from the raw CSVs. EDMO passed the findings to academic and journalistic partners. - Built and shipped EDMO Ireland's weekly fact-check round-up: it pulls new fact-checks, formats them to house style, and posts a draft to edmohub.ie through the WordPress REST API for an editor to review and publish. Runs unattended on GitHub Actions behind 64 tests, with scheduled canary checks that open an issue the moment the source site's markup changes. - Verified and rebuilt an Irish media opinion dataset for an EDMO research team: parsed 287 opinion pieces into clean author-by-outlet counts across seven national titles, enriched a 197-person contributor roster, and found and corrected 15 defective record matches out of 72 before the data reached analysis. - Wrote a Python client and CLI against Meta's official Ad Library API to measure advertising spend and volume across a set of news outlets, handling authentication, pagination, rate limits and schema normalisation. Documented the two fields the API genuinely cannot return rather than approximating them, and grounded the tool in the GDPR Article 89 research exemption and CDSM Article 3 rather than scraping around Meta's controls. - Conducted original counter-disinformation research: a controlled two-account social media experiment documenting algorithmic radicalisation, plus an interview with EDMO Ireland's lead researcher on radical recruitment tactics, Digital Services Act enforcement gaps, and Big Tech's Dublin-based accountability failures. Presented to ~60 students, and shared by EDMO Ireland with Dr Eileen Culloty and Professor Jane Suiter at DCU, who are considering adapting it into an MA journalism module in 2027. - RadicalMap, the extremist-network mapping instrument now published on Zenodo with a DOI, came out of this work and was shown to EDMO Ireland's lead researcher during project kickoff. ## Policy & International Relations Counter-disinformation is written into European law and funded through European programmes, so a lot of the work happens in rooms rather than repositories. These are the two I was selected into. ### Council of Europe — Youth Facing Disinformation: Why Journalists Matter Selected Participant · Strasbourg, November 2026 Selected through an open Europe-wide call, under the Journalists Matter campaign and the Monaco Presidency, alongside the Youth Department's Youth Revitalising Democracy project. Participants are drawn from the 46 member States. - The secretariat described the selection as drawing “a very high number of applications from across Europe, making the selection process particularly competitive”, assessed on the quality and relevance of the application, existing experience and expertise, and potential to act as a multiplier. - Day one is a high-level conference at the Palais de l'Europe with journalists, media professionals, researchers, policymakers and Council of Europe representatives. - Day two is participant-only workshops at the European Youth Centre Strasbourg on disinformation, media and information literacy, quality journalism and democratic resilience. ### Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) — ChangingTIDE Changemakers Changemaker, Ireland team · Brussels, October 2026 One of four people representing Ireland, selected through a two-stage process from a multi-country field of applicants across EU member states. An EU-funded project under the European Commission's Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme, coordinated by TEPSA in Brussels with DCU's FuJo Institute as Irish partner. - The Ireland team co-creates a national campaign countering disinformation, information manipulation and foreign interference (FIMI). - Mentoring from Young European Leadership (YEL), ChangeLab sessions in Brussels, and meetings with MEPs. - Campaigns are brought into dialogue with policymakers at national and EU level. ## Projects ### 01 — NZT-48 Tags: Python, AI Agents, Self-Hosted, Automation A self-hosted personal AI system built on Claude Code: a Telegram interface, Obsidian-backed memory, and a set of background agents and monitors that handle briefings, research, and scheduling.

Page: https://euansmith.net/projects/nzt-48 ## Problem I wanted a genuinely capable personal assistant without paying per message or handing my notes to a third-party cloud API. Off-the-shelf tools either cost per use or lock your data in. ## Approach Built a personal AI operating system on top of a single Claude Code subscription: a Telegram bot as the interface, an Obsidian vault as long-term memory, a set of task agents (briefing, research, scheduling, recall) and background monitors, outbound email over SMTP, and a small web dashboard. Everything runs locally. ## Outcome Runs at zero marginal cost.

Grounded in DSA Article 40 researcher-access provisions and the GDPR Article 89 research exemption. Page: https://euansmith.net/projects/radical-map ## Problem Extremist content spreads on short-form video platforms through coded language and numeric dog whistles that automated moderation misses. Researchers have a legal basis to study platform data under the DSA, but few practical tools to do it. ## Approach Built a Python instrument that scrapes public TikTok metadata, classifies content across categories (antisemitic, white-nationalist, conspiracy, radicalisation pipeline), and renders the connections as an interactive network graph. Framed explicitly as academic research tooling under DSA Article 40, GDPR Article 89, and CDSM Directive Article 3 — not activism. ## Outcome A working prototype (FastAPI + SQLite, dev dataset of one interconnected cluster). Shown to EDMO Ireland's lead researcher during a project kickoff — it was already a small-scale version of the network-mapping tool they were scoping.
