Hello, I am a senior at the College of Charleston looking to graduate in the Spring of 2016 with a degree in Computer Science. I am interested in software development, big-data problem solving, and, most of all, cyber security. Combining competition and computers is always fun so you can find me on the on the field at various online coding competitions and capture-the-flags as well as the annual Palmetto Cyber Defense Competition. Ideally I am looking for a position that combines my software-engineering-focused degree with my security skills. Perhaps writing security tools or doing something to enhance the security of a large piece of software.
