About Benjamin Popso
I’m a first-generation Information Technology undergraduate at New Jersey Institute of Technology, specializing in Information and Network Security, with a strong interest in cybersecurity, defensive operations, and system integrity.I currently serve as a faculty-appointed IT Course Teaching Assistant, where I support students in a hands-on lab environment by analyzing technical issues, troubleshooting failures, and guiding structured problem-solving in real time. This role has strengthened my ability to think methodically under pressure, identify root causes, communicate clearly, and apply disciplined troubleshooting workflows—skills that directly translate to IT support and security operations roles.My academic and project experience has focused on secure system behavior, networking fundamentals, access control concepts, and reliable application design, alongside a strong foundation in programming and scripting for problem-solving and automation. I’m particularly interested in how systems fail, how misconfigurations occur, and how preventative controls and monitoring can reduce risk.Beyond technical work, I bring a strong background in leadership, mentorship, and accountability. I’ve served as a Floor Representative at NJIT, a former high school tennis team captain, and a pastoral intern and pianist, experiences that have reinforced responsibility, trust, and clear communication—qualities that matter deeply in security-focused roles.I’m actively seeking opportunities to grow in cybersecurity, IT operations, and security-focused support roles, and I enjoy connecting with professionals who value defensive thinking, system reliability, and protecting users and data.
