about

About Harry.

I'm Harry Smallwood, a digital forensics practitioner who builds the software I wish already existed. Every product started the same way: a problem that kept turning up in real casework, like a frame timing check read by hand, a photo nobody could vouch for, or a drive that failed halfway through imaging.

That background shapes how the software is made. It runs on your own machines because evidence shouldn't leave them. Licences work offline because forensic workstations often can't go online. Versions never expire because validated methods need to be repeatable years later. And every tool records how it got its results, because someone will eventually ask.

My academic work looked at detecting forged images with deep learning, in my dissertation A Picture Paints a Thousand Lies, and that interest runs through Forgery Lens.
