  • Perform advanced forensics across operating systems, cloud, memory, and network telemetry; correlate signals to determine the scope of compromise.
  • Build innovative tooling, research systems, and hunting/investigation workflows; identify capability gaps and propose automations to close them.
  • Produce clear reports, forensic timelines, threat-actor assessments, and actionable detection and remediation guidance.
  • Support internal security, threat intelligence, detection engineering, and investigation teams with expert forensic findings and technical analysis.
