About Zach Oconnor
Hi, my name is Zach Ozark native, with a passion technology and people. Graduated from Missouri State University with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems. 5+ years as a full-time lead software developer for an international trucking company where I maintained and developed code for critical trucking systems. I am currently honing my love and craft for cybersecurity and leadership by working as a Network Security Engineer for a MSP that services community and regional financial institutions. As for my future, I hope to one day work in a role where I can not only help a company advance technologically, but also help others excel in their endeavors along the way. In my free time, you can find me outdoors spending time with family and golfing. Key Strengths: Communicator, trustworthy, learner, and a heart for people.
