What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters continuous learning and collaboration, where I can apply my skills in digital forensics and cybersecurity to make a meaningful impact.

I am a certified digital computer hacking investigator with a strong passion for uncovering digital evidence and mitigating cyber risks. My foundational knowledge in forensic analysis and cyber threat detection has equipped me with the skills necessary to investigate security breaches and malicious activities effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments and adapt quickly to new technologies, ensuring that I remain at the forefront of digital forensics.

Throughout my career, I have utilized cutting-edge tools and methodologies, such as Magnet Axiom and Burp Suite, to conduct thorough investigations. My projects, including the Home Lab Installation with Wazuh and disk image analysis of ransomware attacks, have honed my abilities in endpoint security, threat intelligence, and incident response. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, which I believe is crucial in the ever-evolving field of digital forensics.
