Pseudo Resume

I don't like Resumes. They're annoying and formal and don't have enough room for me to put all of the things and nuances that I think employers should know. So I wrote this document to hold all of the things I think should go onto my resume without the fuss of formatting and formal writing. There isn't a strict format, but I'll generally start with the big stuff on top and get smaller.

• I'm a Undergraduate Computer Science / Political Science student at UWEC

• I'm in the uwec honors program

• I'm specifically interested in Influence Warfare

• I have various certificates, a comprehensive list here

• At the end of the 2023-2024 school year I was hired to be a student system administrator of uwec's High Performance Computing Center which means I'm part of the three-person team which manages our two supercomputing clusters (about 85 nodes altogether). We present to/help/teach the few hundred students and faculty researchers which use the clusters, make sure all of the many moving parts of the clusters work, and generally ensure that everything is up to date, secure, and available for all. I'm also the "security person" so I'm generally in charge of most security-related stuff

• I'm on the Student Senate Information Technology Commission (ITC), we advise the senate on IT needs and approve the $1.2 million uwec IT budget every year

• In 2024 I went to Cyphercon as part of uwec's ctf competition red team, we competed against 71 teams and got 6th. I also won the Hungry Hungry Hackers competition (competing alone) and won a free badge (entry ticket) to next year

• During my senior year of high school I did the "Start College Now" program, which means that my high school paid for me to go to my local technical college (which happens to have one of the best cyber programs in the state) and take classes in addition to my high school coursework. I learned invaluable skills there that I (if I learned at all) wouldn't have learned traditionally until my junior or senior year (Cisco Networking, Linux, Bash, Enterprise Clients, Security 1)

• I am the founder and president of uwec's cybersecurity club, I built numerous projects and plans for creating a competitive cybersecurity team, including teaching a new topic in cybersecurity and leading hands on activities each week, physically programming and working on a lot of projects, and generally being a driven person in creating an engaging, education, and accepting environment out of nothing (pretty much by myself). It should be noted that nothing that I teach or use in the club I learned in my normal CS program, I learned all of it on my own in my free time

• I worked and still work on multiple official uwec research projects, found here

• I'm the president of uwec's Student Association for Computing Machinery

• In 2024 I went to the Midwestern Undergraduate Data Analytics Competition where as part of a team from uwec, we stayed up for 26 hours straight analyzing various datasets from a real life client in order to answer questions about crop optimization and then presented to judges

• I'm the founder and president of uwec's Model United Nations club

• I've trained in various martial arts since I was 9, namely Wadokai Aikido and Shorin Ryu Karate

• Junior and senior year of high school I was a "tech intern", a group which operated a helpdesk for staff and students. During the summer for those years I also worked as an intern with the IT department, we upgraded systems, managed the hundreds of Chromebooks and IPads that the school district owned, and checked the AV technology in every classroom of the 10 school district. During my senior year I also competed in the Future Business Leader's of America coding and programming competition, winning first at state and going to nationals in Atlanta

• I use Linux everyday on my personal computer and at my job, where my work laptop and the clusters run Rocky Linux

• I was asked my uwec's Chief Information Security Officer to help demo physical cyber attacks to our police department. I also work with our CISO on various other projects, including starting a cybersecurity club, research, and getting cyber activities started on campus
