Summary
Shane Mcculley is a Lead DFIR Developer with 11 years of experience specializing in digital forensics, incident response, cloud forensics, and automation, currently driving forensic engineering at LevelBlue/Aon Cyber Solutions. He blends academic rigor—a PhD/MS in Computer Science (Information Assurance)—with practical tooling and platform design, having built automated, scalable lab and exercise infrastructure at the University of New Orleans. Shane’s work spans low-level artifact acquisition and reverse engineering of collaborative cloud protocols to higher-level distributed systems and privacy-aware automation, enabling reproducible incident analysis at scale. He mentors teams and develops extensible automation primitives that simulate user and system behavior for individualized scenario generation, a capability rooted in his research on cloud-native forensics. Based in New Orleans, he brings a mathematician’s precision to forensic challenges and a penchant for turning complex investigative workflows into robust, deployable solutions.
