About Nate P.

From an early age, I was drawn to the realm of computers. Beginning with developing game servers and exploring various operating systems, I built a lifelong passion for IT and cybersecurity.My love for these fields led me to establish a Computer Club in high school. I introduced peers to a broad range of technologies, from Windows to VM\'s. We dove deep into cybersecurity, testing malware in controlled environments, and tackling real-world threat scenarios. Our exploration went beyond technical aspects, venturing into making tech accessible to the masses with technologies such as Virtual Reality and adaptive web-page design. This journey through digital literacy honed my communication skills and solidified my passion for this field.These experiences paved the way for an internship where I addressed common user issues and emphasized cybersecurity awareness among faculty, effectively reducing incident occurrences. My ongoing association with the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence has been transformative, as I continue to provide IT solutions, ensure system security, and optimize their tech ecosystem. As an SOC Analyst at Brite, I collaborate with a dedicated team to safeguard networks and drive the organization\'s mission. In addition to this role, I offer consultation services under my Hyperion label to various organizations, ensuring tech security, and contributing to a safer digital environment.After graduating from Onondaga Community College with an Associates in Computer Information Systems, I delved deeper into MySQL databases, various coding languages, router management, and server software management. Now, I\'m augmenting my knowledge with a Bachelor\'s in Cyber Security at Le Moyne College and a meaningful industry qualifications.With a strong foundation in IT and cybersecurity, and advanced skills in AI and machine learning, I\'m well equipped to tackle the complex challenges in today\'s digital environment. Whether it\'s designing innovative software, researching the latest in cybersecurity, or developing AI-powered solutions, I\'m always ready for the next challenge.Outside of my professional pursuits, you\'ll often find me in my garden, cultivating my green thumb, or absorbed in the exploration of novel AI technologies. Whether it\'s developing AI-powered solutions or researching the latest in cybersecurity, I relish the challenges these activities bring.With the future full of potential, I\'m excited to continue my journey, embracing new challenges, and making a lasting impact in the IT and cybersecurity realms.
