Greetings, I'm Ethan Baines. Prior to delving into cybersecurity, I gained valuable experience as a maintenance worker at Heritage Hills, a local golf course. In this role, I honed my leadership and problem-solving abilities, tackling various challenges to ensure smooth operations. Leveraging my expertise in heavy machinery and landscaping, I frequently led teams to accomplish tasks assigned by our supervisor, providing me with invaluable leadership opportunities.My journey towards cybersecurity began at a young age fueled by a passion for gaming computers and technology. Over the years, I built numerous PCs for friends and family, expanding my knowledge base. Encouraged by my uncle's experience with a coding boot camp, I enrolled in Full Stack Academy's cybersecurity program at Oklahoma University. Currently pursuing my Security+ certification, I aspire to specialize in Cybersecurity upon graduation, while remaining open to exploring other avenues within the IT field.
