I'm currently teaching Cybersecurity, Devops, React, and React Native courses. A highlight of my responsibilities include facilitating a 4-5 hour workshop once a week to students. During this time, I interface directly with students in a collaborative coding environment where we work on a portion of a project in a hackathon style. - Teach core, intermediate and advanced Cybersecurity, Devops, and React concepts to students - Grade student assignments and provide feedback- Assess students understanding of material and provide customized/modified lesson plans if necessary

https://lifescienceswebstudio.com/As the owner Life Science Design Studio, I lead a passionate team in designing and developing bespoke websites that serve the unique needs of the life sciences sector. Our work focuses on creating intuitive, visually compelling digital experiences that facilitate scientific communication and innovation. Leveraging the latest web technologies, we ensure our designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, accessible, and compliant with industry standards. Our commitment to excellence and understanding of life sciences complexities allows us to deliver solutions that enhance our clients' online presence, making complex scientific information accessible and engaging for a wide audience.At Life Sciences Web Studio, I prioritize the safety and integrity of the websites I manage by implementing a comprehensive security strategy that addresses today's dynamic cyber threat landscape. I ensure the deployment of robust security measures, including regular updates to security protocols, SSL encryption for data protection, and the installation of firewalls and intrusion detection systems to thwart unauthorized access. My approach includes conducting thorough vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential security weaknesses before they can be exploited. I also champion the importance of secure coding practices and data privacy standards among developers to mitigate risks from the ground up. By staying abreast of the latest cybersecurity trends and threats, I adapt and refine our security measures, ensuring that the websites under my care are not just compliant with industry standards, such as GDPR and PCI DSS, but also resilient against evolving cyber threats. My dedication to cybersecurity is not just about protecting infrastructure but also about safeguarding the trust of users who depend on the security of their data online.
