Cybersecurity student specializing in digital forensics and cybercrime investigation, with foundation in electrical engineering and methodical approach to evidence analysis.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity with a strong foundation in electrical engineering principles. This technical background provides essential understanding of computer architecture, networking protocols, and system-level operations critical to digital forensics investigations.
Coursework emphasizes network security fundamentals, ethical hacking and penetration testing, digital forensics and incident response, with hands-on laboratory experience using industry-standard forensic tools and methodologies.
Specialized training in cybercrime investigation techniques includes network traffic analysis using Wireshark and NetworkMiner, endpoint artifact examination with Autopsy and Sleuth Kit, volatile memory analysis using Volatility Framework, and open-source intelligence gathering for threat assessment purposes.
All investigative work follows established forensic methodologies including proper evidence preservation, chain of custody procedures, and documentation standards consistent with law enforcement and federal contractor requirements.
Digital forensics investigations require methodical approach, attention to detail, and commitment to evidence integrity. Every case follows systematic procedures: evidence identification and preservation, forensic acquisition and analysis, timeline reconstruction, and comprehensive reporting suitable for legal proceedings.
Professional development focuses on maintaining current knowledge of emerging threats, evolving forensic techniques, and legal requirements for digital evidence admissibility. Continuous learning ensures investigative capabilities remain current with industry standards and technological advances.
Pursuing opportunities with federal agencies requiring digital forensics expertise for criminal investigations and national security matters.
Seeking positions in accredited forensic laboratories supporting law enforcement and legal proceedings with expert analysis and testimony.
Contributing to organizational cybersecurity through forensic analysis of security incidents and threat investigation capabilities.
