Cybersecurity & Network Technology Student
Building secure, reliable, and scalable digital solutions through cybersecurity, networking, and technology.
About
I'm a Cybersecurity & Network Technology student, and honestly, I like the whole picture of IT more than any one piece of it. I care about how networks are built, how systems get secured, and how all of it the applications, the infrastructure, the data actually connects. If I'm building something, I want it to hold up. Security isn't something I add at the end; it's part of how I think about a project from day one.
Most of what I know comes from doing, not just reading about it. Classes give me the fundamentals: risk management, access control, network architecture, secure design. The rest comes from labs I run on my own time setting up network topologies, digging through traffic captures, writing small scripts and web tools to make sense of what I'm learning as I go.
I'm still early in my career, still learning constantly, and right now I'm looking for internships and entry-level roles in cybersecurity, networking, or IT in general somewhere I can work alongside people who are already doing this for real.
