Ryan L. Butkowski founded Binary Forensic with a clear vision: bridge the gap between complex technology and the courtroom. He recognized early on that the legal community needed more than just data—they needed a partner who could make that data meaningful, accessible, and compelling for judges and juries alike.

The company was born from Ryan’s insight that as cases grew more technologically complex, the ability to clearly demonstrate digital evidence became essential to achieving justice. He saw attorneys struggling to convey intricate technical concepts to laypeople in the courtroom and built Binary Forensic to solve that problem. From day one, the mission has been straightforward—take the complicated and make it understandable without sacrificing accuracy or integrity.

Beyond the office, Ryan is a passionate traveler and explorer. He has journeyed across South America, wandered through the streets of China, experienced the rich history of Turkey, ventured through Africa, explored the diverse cultures of Europe, marveled at the landscapes of Iceland, and discovered the beauty of Australia. These travels fuel his passion for destination photography—capturing the essence of the places he visits and the people he meets along the way. His camera has become as essential to his adventures as his forensic tools are to his casework.

From a single idea about making technology work for justice, Ryan L. Butkowski has built Binary Forensic into a firm that clients across industries trust with their most critical cases. His vision, expertise, and unwavering commitment to service continue to drive the company forward.

Gavin R. Butkowski is part of the engine that powers the Binary Forensic lab—an Evidence Technician whose dedication to thoroughness and precision keeps cases moving forward, no matter the hour.

While most people are winding down for the evening, Gavin is often just getting started. He’s the team member you’ll find in the lab during odd hours, methodically working through mountains of data when the work demands it. Digital forensics isn’t a nine-to-five job, and Gavin embraces that reality. His willingness to put in the time—whether it’s an early morning extraction or a late-night analysis session—ensures that critical deadlines are met and no detail is overlooked.

Gavin’s work sits at the heart of the forensic process. He trudges through vast datasets, sifting through information that would overwhelm most people. His expertise lies in the deep analytical work: examining evidence with a critical eye, running statistical probabilities, identifying patterns, and drawing meaningful conclusions from complex digital artifacts.
