Hands-on digital forensics and incident investigation.

Investigated Windows memory, corrupted and embedded files, version-control history, and application artifacts using repeatable evidence-analysis workflows across NCL and Hack The Box exercises.

Representative Work: NCL Fall 2026 · Hack The Box

Memory Forensics

Context: NCL Fall 2026 — The Book

Analyzed a Windows memory image using Volatility 3 and supporting tools to identify system information, locate file objects, recover a SQLite database from memory, and examine credential-related artifacts.

File Recovery & Signature Analysis

Context: NCL Fall 2026 — File Carving & Magic Bytes

Used file signatures, Binwalk, archive analysis, strings, and header inspection to identify misleading file types, locate embedded content, and recover hidden or altered data.

Representative Investigations

Version-Control Forensics

Context: NCL Fall 2026 — Version Control

Examined Git commit history and branches to recover metadata and historical content that was no longer visible in the current working files.

Application Artifact Investigation

Context: Hack The Box — Holmes CTF, Silent Dividend

Extracted an Electron application package, analyzed JavaScript artifacts, identified embedded application logic, and recreated a decoding process in Python to investigate concealed data.
