Portrait of Dora ShcherbatyukMy name is Dora Shcherbatyuk, and I have also gone by the pseudonym Pandora Lewandowski for many years. I have spent almost my entire conscious life professionally searching for cybercriminals all over the world. My alter ego is an improver-biohacker. I research various ways to improve my cognitive and physical capabilities using methods grounded in evidence-based medicine. Another side of my personality is an eternal love of systematizing chaos and turning it into systems that work. I am an unbridled analyst. As an aesthete, it's crucial for me to find beauty in the ordinary pieces of this world.

Investigator

I have been catching cybercriminals my whole life. Today, I am a Product Owner and Cybercrime Investigator at Group-IB, working at the intersection of product development and cybercrime investigation. My experience spans digital forensics, threat intelligence, and OSINT-driven investigations around the world. Moving between these areas has allowed me to develop a T-shaped skill set and turn practical investigation experience into products, methodologies, and training.

I do not believe investigations can be taught as a list of tools. The real craft is learning to form hypotheses, notice weak signals, and keep going when the first path fails. I turn that craft into products, methodologies, talks, and practical learning systems.

Selected work & ideas

  • Creator of Awesome Genealogy OSINT Sources, an open collection of resources for genealogical investigations

Biohacker

I strongly believe that we should use modern technologies to improve our lives, particularly our physical and mental capabilities. I follow the ideas of transhumanism and always try to combine them with the best of biohacking. But I am also certain that, alongside improvements made with medicines and gadgets, we should pay attention to our habits, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and take care of our bodies.

Quantified Self

I am part of the Quantified Self community. H. James Harrington said:
Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.
That is why I track the following types of data:
  • Sleep
  • Food
  • Mindfulness time
  • Body shape
  • Training
  • Blood
  • Thoughts
  • Finances
  • Supplements
  • Brain activity

Makeover

I work to overcome the stigma surrounding cosmetology and plastic surgery by sharing my own cases. I believe that you can change yourself and your body out of love for yourself, not as a way to please others.

What I can share with you

  • Building your own effective routine
  • Creating a list of parameters suited to your goals
  • Sharing tips for improving well-being

I do not provide health counseling or recommend any supplements.

Room for development

The next step in my self-improvement will be to combine all the data I have into a single system.

Traveler

I am a cosmopolitan. It's important to me to learn about other cultures and values while traveling. When I travel, life slows down as I take in new experiences. I leave a piece of myself in every country and carry a piece of each country with me, which makes me stronger.

Now based in: Phuket, Thailand
