Forensic Science Specialist — Investigation & Toxicology
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Forensic science specialist in investigation and toxicology — B.Sc & M.Sc Forensic Science, then MCA for systems, then M.Tech in Cyber Security & AI / Digital Forensics. Founder of Dezo.in. Laboratory method applied to evidence, architectures, and intelligence.
INVESTIGATIVE ORIGIN: WHY I CHOSE TECH
SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITY → DIGITAL SYSTEMSMy transition into technology was driven by an instinctive passion for research and scientific investigation. In forensic laboratories, I learned empirical rigor — isolating toxic compounds on a GC-MS, analyzing microscopic fingerprint minutiae, and following strict chains of custody. As critical societal infrastructure, financial transactions, and adversarial conflicts migrated into cyberspace, I realized that the greatest investigative frontier was software and artificial intelligence.
In tech, investigation transforms from post-mortem documentation into active creation. I engineer resilient zero-trust architectures, build AI reasoning agents that see what others miss, and apply the exact evidentiary standards of a forensic scientist to production software engineering.
ACADEMIC DEGREES & SCIENTIFIC QUALIFICATIONS
B.Sc — Forensic Science
Investigative foundation: crime-scene method, dactyloscopy, ballistics, questioned documents, and evidence preservation.
M.Sc — Forensic Science — Investigation & Toxicology
Specialization in forensic investigation and toxicology: GC-MS / HPLC analytical chemistry, biological evidence, and chain-of-custody protocols for court-ready reporting.
MCA — Computer Applications
Software systems layer on the forensic foundation: architectures, databases, and engineering practice for building investigative tools.
M.Tech — Cyber Security & AI / Digital Forensics
Digital forensics, defensive cyber architecture, and AI systems — extending physical investigation into memory, networks, and audit-grade intelligence.
FORENSIC SCIENCE SPECIALTIES & LABORATORY MASTERY
COURT-ADMISSIBLE RIGORForensic Toxicology
chemicalSpecialized in the extraction, isolation, and quantitative identification of poisons, illicit narcotics, pharmaceutical metabolites, heavy metals, and industrial volatiles across biological viscera and non-biological chemical matrices.
Forensic Dactyloscopy & Friction Ridge Analysis
patternRigorous physical and chemical identification, visualization, and comparison of human friction ridge patterns (fingerprints, palm prints, and footprints) to establish infallible individualization.
Forensic Serology & Biological Evidence (DNA)
biologicalBiochemical identification of human physiological fluids, bloodstain pattern dynamics (BPA), and the empirical preservation of biological evidentiary material for molecular genetic profiling.
Questioned Document Examination (QDE)
patternScientific examination of contested written, printed, and electronic documents to determine genuineness, authorship, mechanical production origins, and physical or chemical alterations.
Forensic Ballistics & Toolmark Impression
physicalComparative microscopy of mechanical striations and impressions left by firearm barrels, breech faces, firing pins, and cutting tools, coupled with terminal trajectory physics.
Crime Scene Reconstruction & Evidentiary Methodology
physicalSystematic physical evidence documentation, scene geometry surveying, physical trajectory calculation, and strict ISO/IEC 27037 chain-of-custody protocols for court-ready evidence admissibility.
Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)
digitalThe ultimate bridge between empirical physical investigation and computer systems — bit-for-bit verifiable acquisition, memory volatile extraction, file system metadata carving, and adversarial intrusion telemetry.
