Digital Forensic Intern

FDI Labs

Jun 2026 - Present

Performed live and dead acquisition and forensic imaging across HDDs, SSDs, and laptops using FTK Imager, ensuring data integrity through cryptographic hash verification (MD5/SHA-256). Performed physical and logical extractions on Android and iOS devices using Cellebrite UFED, MOBILedit, Oxygen Forensic Detective, and Magnet AXIOM. Participated in field-based digital forensic investigations involving the identification, collection, imaging, preservation, and documentation of electronic evidence, maintaining accurate chain of custody records and hardware logs. Authored forensic acquisition, device-information, and imaging reports to support investigative workflows and evidence documentation.

Cybersecurity Intern

Texial Cybersecurity

Dec 2025 - Mar 2026

Analyzed and triaged simulated security logs (Windows event logs, DNS, HTTP, FTP) using Splunk SIEM to identify Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and correlate events during incident investigations. Investigated simulated SQL injection and web application attacks by analyzing HTTP logs, reconstructing incident timelines, and mapping adversary TTPs to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Conducted vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, including port scanning and service enumeration, using Nmap and Kali Linux to identify network exposures and security misconfigurations. Executed controlled exploitation of system vulnerabilities, including the VSFTPD backdoor vulnerability on Metasploitable 2, using Metasploit to analyze attack vectors and document remediation strategies.

Forensic Intern

Spy Shot Detective Agency

Jan 2024 - Jan 2024

Applied core physical forensic techniques including fingerprint development, microscopic examination, evidence documentation, and chain of custody procedures during simulated crime-scene investigations.
