What I do

I work across the lifecycle of digital products and technical projects.

That can mean understanding a problem, planning the architecture, building the system, securing it, automating the workflow, launching it and improving how people discover or use it.

My work often sits between disciplines:

engineering and security
software and hardware
technology and business
ideas and execution

BUILD

Software · Web · AI · Products

Software, websites, web applications, dashboards, automation, AI solutions, integrations and technical prototypes.

SECURE

Cybersecurity · Security Engineering

Cybersecurity assessment, vulnerability assessment, threat detection, security engineering and digital forensics.

INVESTIGATE

Digital Forensics · Digital Investigation

Digital forensic investigation, evidence analysis, reporting, and supporting technical investigation workflows.

AUTOMATE

Software · Hardware · Smart Systems

Reducing repetitive work and connecting disconnected systems across software APIs and physical sensors.

LEAD

Architecture · Project Management · Strategy

Technical project management, requirements, architecture planning, roadmaps, coordination, documentation and execution.

GROW

SEO · Branding · Digital Marketing

SEO, digital strategy, content, marketing, analytics, discoverability and conversion-focused improvement.

Cybersecurity

Security starts before the attack.

Vaidik approaches cybersecurity from both offensive and defensive perspectives, focusing on understanding how systems can be attacked, how those attacks can be detected and how systems can be designed to resist them.

Digital Forensics

Investigating what technology leaves behind.

Digital forensics is one of Vaidik's core professional disciplines, involving the examination and interpretation of digital evidence across computers, mobile devices, storage media, CCTV, multimedia and other digital sources.

  • Computer Forensics
  • Mobile Forensics
  • Disk Analysis
  • Memory Forensics
  • Network Forensics
  • Email Forensics
  • Multimedia Forensics
  • CCTV Investigation
  • File-system analysis
  • OSINT
  • Timeline analysis
  • Log analysis
  • Evidence analysis
  • Digital evidence handling
  • Forensic reporting
  • Investigation workflow design
  • Forensic laboratory development
  • Forensic training

Software that can make things happen.

Vaidik works on automation at the intersection of software, hardware and real-world workflows. The objective is to reduce repetitive work, remove unnecessary manual steps and connect disconnected systems.

The tools change from project to project.

The approach doesn't.

  • Understand the problem.
  • Choose the right technology.
  • Build something useful.
  • Think about how it can fail.
  • Automate what should not remain manual.
  • Measure what matters.
  • Keep improving.
