About Me
I’m a digital‑forensics researcher and hardware hacker currently completing an MSc in Digital Forensics, with plans to pursue a PhD focused on physically repairing damaged NAND flash devices. My work blends deep technical expertise in C, Python, low‑level assembly, NAND‑flash recovery, firmware reverse engineering, and embedded‑systems hardware with hands‑on forensic practice, from evidence collection to expert‑witness reporting. I’ve built a public data‑recovery wiki and am now building open‑source NAND‑conversion tools. I am a Bond Solon‑certified expert witness (2024) and a cyber‑volunteer with a regional organized‑crime unit.
Featured Projects
Datarecoverywiki.com-Undergraduate dissertation project
This wiki serves as an effort to build a comprehensive source of data recovery knowledge in order to teach readers basic data recovery skills and knowledge.
The project is mainly targeted at those who typically could not access traditional paid training due to cost, age, location, and/or time commitment.
