About Michael Burgess

Michael Burgess received his M.S. in Digital Forensics and two Bachelor of Science degrees in Core and Applied Mathematics, with honors, all from Purdue University. Michael has been developing computer programs for almost a decade. He has extensively developed in Javascript, Python, AngularJS, Node, and Swift, but has touched many languages and frameworks, as he believes choosing the best language to tackle a large problem is better than hitting all problems on the head with the developer\'s most comfortable language. In addition to his Engineering background, Michael also enjoys solving digital mysteries. Michael has been declared as a Cyber Forensics Expert in a Federal Court and has been the lead forensics investigator for multiple large, multi-million-dollar white-collar crime cases all over the United States and Virgin Islands. Michael has performed extensive and broad research in Digital Forensics, creating new digital tools and techniques for researchers and analysts using Python, JavaScript, Disassembly, and Android/iOS, and specializes in Computer, Mobile, and Memory Forensics, Malware Analysis/Ethical Reverse Engineering. In his spare time, he enjoys creative endeavors such as breaking into Nintendo Systems to (egotistically) put 3-D models of himself into the games, Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality development, and other too-nerdy-to-even-mention hobbies.
