Hey there! I'm Joe

I’m a Computer Science graduate with over three years of IT experience, currently working toward breaking into the cybersecurity field. Through my roles, I’ve developed a strong foundation in troubleshooting, endpoint management, networking, and security systems, supporting both end users and complex technical environments. I hold certifications such as Fortinet NSE Level 1 & 2 and Certified Security Technician, while actively pursuing my ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity and CompTIA Security+ to deepen my security expertise.

I enjoy working across a wide technical stack, from scripting and programming (Python, Java, C/C++, SQL) to web development and system administration across Linux and Windows environments. I’ve also built projects like an AI-powered Tier 1 IT support chatbot and published technical research articles for enterprises to solve global cloud system issues.

Outside of tech, I like to keep life balanced and social. I enjoy spending time with friends, watching sports (especially UFC) and staying consistent in the gym, where I’ve been training for over six years and am working toward competing in a bodybuilding show. I also enjoy travelling and visiting new places so I can continuously learn, both within and beyond the cybersecurity space.
