Kam is currently developing modified open source digital forensics tools for digital archivists. He works with

archivists, librarians, forensics researchers, and other development groups to identify core needs in analyzing

and preparing digital content for preservation -- specifically needs that can be addressed using existing

high-performance forensic technologies (with a little tweaking). He is also interested in developing datasets

and teaching technologies to support education and professional training in digital archiving. He can give a great talk (I know from 2014 ALA) & I'll bet would have some great tech & social insides for Code4Lib
