Aaron Weiss’s Experience

President

Abyte Solutions, Inc.

(Privately Held; Myself Only; Information Technology and Services industry)

January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)

Abyte Solutions provides a variety of computing-related services and consulting. The founder, Aaron Weiss, has specialized education and experience in data recovery and computer forensics. With a vast network of connections, we look to serve as an outlet to quality technology services.

Our current primary service is providing technical support and home office/small business services. We can provide remote access services easily without the need to install software. Our target customer is one which desires quality service delivered by friendly and reliable technicians. We also have the tools and knowledge to assist with data recovery or computer forensic acquisitions.

Treasurer/Office Manager/Quality Control

Certified Engines Unlimited

(Airlines/Aviation industry)

January 2004 — Present (5 years 7 months)

I wear several hats in our family-owned business. My main responsibilities as Treasurer and Office Manager are to perform and oversee all bank and general ledger transactions, generate and maintain computer forms and documents, and act as the administrator for all tax and insurance related matters. Our annual revenue averages about 6 Million.

As Quality Control Manager, I ensure our stringent FAA guidelines as a part 145 certified repair station are carried out and documented. This includes, but is not limited to, developing employee training curriculum, maintaining our repair station manual, liaison to our FAA Administrator, and repair station audits.

Because of my background in computing, I naturally support the company's computer network, which consists of Windows XP and 2000 clients, an IBM iSeries server and Linux workstations.
Computer Crimes Squad - Civilian Volunteer

Orange County Sheriff's Office

(Government Agency; 1001-5000 employees; Law Enforcement industry)

2003 — 2004 (1 year)

After successfully passing a background check and voice-stress test, I qualified as a Civilian Member of the Sheriff's Office. I assisted the two-member Computer Crimes Squad on computer crimes, which addressed crimes including computer crimes, fraud, sex crimes, crimes against children, theft, and nearly any other type of crime. During my regular Monday volunteer day, I participated in nearly every aspect of the computer forensics process, including seizures, acquisitions, evidence transfers, analysis, and report generation.

Being a part of UCF's Graduate Certificate in Digital Forensics program allowed me this opportunity to work with the department.
Supervisor/Senior Computer Tech

Best Buy

(Public Company; BBY; Computer Hardware industry)

May 1998 — December 2003 (5 years 8 months)

Worked as senior computer technician and supervised (1 year) a team of 7-10 computer techs in Best Buy store. Our team was sales and service oriented, offering computer services to consumers and some small businesses. We focused on optimization, virus removal, data recovery, and supporting store and manufacturer warranties.

The Science/Computing Track is directed toward those with an interest in scientific applications and research in the field.
