  • Experience with forensic tools, such as Encase, FTK, Axiom, and Cellebrite to carry out digital forensic investigations.

  • Collaborate with other forensic analysts, law enforcement officers, and legal experts to identify methods and procedures for recovery, preservation, and presentation of computer evidence, ensuring proper precautions are taken in the preservation and prevention of spoliation of electronic evidence.
