Gannon O'Connor

Although most of my past employment experience has been with customer service, it has taught me that I am skilled at working with people. Working as part of a team has given me confidence in my leadership skills that can be transferred and will prove to be an asset in my Cyber Security career.

In addition to this I am extremely motivated and open to learning. I work well both with a team, and when left on my own. In the past, I have struggled with when to ask for help vs do things on my own, however I have gotten better at finding this balance.

I have used several OSINT tools in a Security Report I did for one of my classes. Some of those include Spokeo, OSINTGram, PassiveDNS, Netflow, & Wireshark. In addition to these I have a little experience in Maltego.

Additionally, I have experience in Yara, LOKI, yarGen, as well as Snort.

In the classes I've taken I've not only gained experience in Web programming stack (HTML CSS & JS). But jQuery, NodeJS, and Git as well. But I have ~2 years of experience in usage of the LAMP Stack.

Lastly I constantly find myself trying to learn more & always be on the bleeding edge of technology. My peers constantly praise my leadership skills, ability to lead by example, work ethic, and dedication to my tasks.

Customer Service with Leadership roles in every single one of my jobs. From training new employees to working with leadership committees.
