- Proven experience conducting enterprise-scale digital forensic investigations across Windows and Linux operating systems.
- Strong knowledge of forensic artefacts including event logs, registry analysis, browser artefacts, file systems, persistence mechanisms, lateral movement techniques, and file-less attacks.
- Experience with threat hunting, security operations, incident investigation, and security technologies such as SIEM platforms, firewalls, and monitoring solutions.
- Hands-on knowledge of forensic tools such as X-Ways, EnCase, Autopsy, TimeSketch, and Plaso, with familiarity in cloud forensics and memory analysis considered advantageous.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly through reports, executive summaries, and stakeholder engagement.
