@advaitchandsarkar
I lead digital forensics investigations, eDiscovery, fraud analysis, and forensic lab implementations.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently managing forensic projects at Epiq Systems, delivering technical work, quality controls, client solutions, and tool testing across FTK, Nuix, Cellebrite, ECC, and MCA.
Previously, I led the Forensics Division at Pelorus Technologies, where I designed cyber-forensics frameworks, selected scalable tools, and supported sensitive investigations for law-enforcement agencies. I also drove forensic lab, training, and awareness programs for government and investigation teams.
Across more than 11 years in digital forensics, eDiscovery, fraud investigation, and incident response, I've handled private- and public-sector cases, forensic audits, due diligence, evidence collection, and technical reporting. My work has included a fraud investigation presented before the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris.
I've set up digital forensic labs, supported 27/7 technical operations, trained law-enforcement and government agencies, and led teams through complex investigations from assessment to judicial resolution. I bring hands-on experience across computer, mobile, network, social-media, email, audio/video, and chat forensics.
