Joshua Gray

I am passionate about learning and striving to be a better person. My experience with information security has prepared me for an IS assurance position. I am ready for my next opportunit.

I have professional experience working in information security as an assistant, primarily focusing on risk management, data review, and control audits related to school security functions. I also took responsibility for managing patch updates for vulnerable software across the entire campus. In addition to my work experience, I volunteered as a technical advisor for Cyber Patriot, a program aimed at developing cybersecurity skills in students. Through my guidance, the students I led were able to achieve a top 30 placement in a nationwide competition. Looking ahead, my goals include obtaining Security+ certification as well as pursuing the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems, which provided me with a comprehensive understanding of wireless systems, data intelligence, and various processes related to information systems. As part of my undergraduate education, I gained knowledge and skills in these areas. Furthermore, I was accepted into the Embedded Systems master's program at UCI (University of California, Irvine). This program focuses on the development and implementation of security hardware, aiming to bring security features to life in embedded systems.
