About Joshua G.
I’ve always been the kind of person who wants to understand why something happened, not just fix it and move on. That curiosity is what led me into cybersecurity. I enjoy digging into incidents, figuring out what went wrong, and coming up with smarter ways to prevent the same thing from happening again. I got my start in IT working help desk during college while studying cybersecurity, which gave me a solid foundation in troubleshooting and understanding real user needs. Outside of class and work, I spent a lot of time building home labs to sharpen my skills and explore the tools and concepts that fascinated me. Since graduating, I’ve worked in several cybersecurity roles, each one expanding my experience and deepening my understanding of how to protect systems and support business goals in the real world. I’m also a bit of a tinkerer at heart. I like exploring new tools, combining them in creative ways, and pushing systems to do more than they were originally designed for. To me, good security isn’t just about protection it’s about adaptability and solving real-world problems. Outside of work, I’m usually spending time with friends or family, in the gym, or enjoying the outdoors. It’s all about finding that balance.
