About Me

Digital Forensic & E-Discovery Professional

Dynamic and seasoned DFIR Engineer & E-Discovery Professional with 9+ years of experience leading complex investigations into digital crimes and cyber incidents. Adept at utilizing state-of-the-art forensic tools and automation to collect, analyze, and report on digital evidence with precision and integrity.

Skilled in conducting in-depth examinations across computers, mobile devices, air-gapped systems, and cloud environments. Experienced in managing forensic teams, collaborating with legal counsel and corporate stakeholders, and delivering actionable insights for litigation and incident response engagements at scale.

Currently building a next-generation forensic investigation platform — a modular system combining artifact analysis, timeline reconstruction, and AI-assisted workflows to revolutionize how digital evidence is processed and understood. This platform is designed to bridge the gap between traditional forensic methodologies and modern automation needs.

As co-founder and CTO, I combine deep expertise in Linux systems, forensic automation, and security to drive technical innovation. I also bring forensic lens to DPDP (Digital Personal Data Protection) compliance, ensuring data privacy controls align with evidence integrity and investigation readiness.
