Hired as a contractor in November 2007 to assist with a large-scale security audit for a foreign government. Responsibilities for this project consisted of analyzing various network data captures for malicious activities and financial transactions, and creating detailed Executive and Technical reports for the client. Converted to permanent full-time employee as a Junior Forensic Analyst in January 2008. Since conversion to permanent status, I worked on additional security audits, incident response engagements, e-Discovery projects, forensic investigations, and provided expert testimony in court.

The company grew from a small organization (Digital Works) to a much larger one (Digital Discovery Corp) with security and forensics departments, through a change in ownership to a dedicated forensics firm (EasyMark LLC dba Digital Discovery). During this time I took on additional responsibilities for project management, research and development, and team leadership.
