Professional Approach

As a cybersecurity student with an electrical engineering foundation, I specialize in the methodical investigation of digital evidence and cybercrime analysis. My approach emphasizes forensic rigor, evidence-based reasoning, and systematic reconstruction of digital events.

Training in advanced digital forensics techniques includes network traffic analysis, endpoint artifact examination, volatile memory investigation, and open-source intelligence gathering. All investigative work follows established forensic methodologies and maintains strict adherence to chain of custody procedures.

Currently pursuing CompTIA Security+ certification with focus on digital forensics applications, preparing for career opportunities in federal law enforcement, digital forensics laboratories, and cybersecurity consulting.
