PASSION FOR SECURITY
Dennis has been an active member of the Information Security space since he was very young. He started learning about technology by disassembling any-and-all electronics he could get his hands on. He later became the leader of his CyberPatriot Platinum team. From there, he then went on to become a two times SkillsUSA Regional and States Gold Medalist and National Competitor. While he was a senior in High School, he started working as a systems administrator within the DoD. Even during his full-time job, he continued his pursuit of knowledge in the world of microelectronics and SBC, Wireless exploitation, and electoral engineering. He finds joy in designing circuits and building electronic solutions for problems he would rather automate.
