Forensic expert with more than 14 years of hands-on experience in criminal investigations, with a primary focus on homicide cases. Over the years, I have built solid expertise in crime scene reconstruction, forensic techniques, and chain-of-custody protocols, always working under pressure with precision and responsibility. Throughout my career, I have carried out forensic examinations in over 500 vehicular accident cases involving victims, and have contributed to more than 1,000 criminal investigations in total. My work has led me to analyze some of the most complex and challenging crime scenes, including those involving firearms, sharp weapons, burned remains, and dismemberment.
