Mobile Forensic Analyst
CurrentMy current employment is a dual role position as a Cell-Site Analyst/Team Leader and Mobile Phone Analyst (under the umbrella role of Digital Forensic Specialist). Within my role as a Mobile Phone Analyst, I provide expert evidential reports relating to the extraction/recovery of mobile phone/tablet data. This involves the analysis of mobile phone extraction data to review any potential evidence that would be of relevance to an ongoing investigation. This task requires advance attention to detail and data analytical skills. Alongside a complex understanding of the inner workings of mobile/tablet devices and how they store data.Once all the relevant evidence is gathered, an expert report is provided to the investigating force allowing the gathered evidence to be used/presented in court. Similar to Cell-Site Analysis this requires professional Report Writing skills to the highest standards and presentational skills when giving said evidence in court.Due to the nature of Mobile Phone Analysis, I have gained experience and become adept within a very fast paced working environment while also maintaining a high degree of accuracy. It is not uncommon to be working on multiple devices/cases simultaneously within the spam of one day. This has provided me experience in task/work management and developed my skills in organisational proficiency.I also have further training as a mobile repair technician:Repair Technician – For a mobile extraction to be viable the device may need to be in working condition. To assist with this, I have trained in the repairing of mobile devices/tablets, this includes performing diagnosis, to determine the fault, and thereafter completing a full repair of a mobile/tablet device. This responsibility can fluctuate from simple battery/screen replacement to advanced logic-board diagnosis and component replacement.
