Hi! I'm Evan Spillane and I'm currently an undergraduate student at Marist College where I am a member of the Honors program. I am double majoring in Cybersecurity and Philosophy. I have been the President of my Class for 3 years now and have been President of Marist Esports for 2 years.For the last semester or two I have been honored to be a part of the Marist-IBM Joint Study doing Quantum Computing research in the field of Cybersecurity. I am very passionate about my work, although its hard to consider it work when I enjoy doing it so much. I have presented my research at various conferences, and was awarded first place at IBM's TechConnect 2023 Conference in the Hudson Valley.For Esports I have been very involved in leadership and communicating with the school to ensure our programs needs are met. In the Spring of 2022, my teammates and I on the Overwatch 2 team won the MAAC Championship for Marist on stage in Atlantic City. The school administration has been very supportive of our program, and we have seen our membership double every year since 2021. As Esports becomes more of an important factor in students college decisions, its important for our program to represent our school and its values to the best of our ability. In following that, I got the idea to run a 24-Hour Charity Livestream event that benefited a local charity in the Hudson Valley called Sparrow's Nest. I coordinated organizing the time blocks for the event, the streaming setup, and getting a few special guests to attend such as Marist President, Kevin Weinman. Students could donate to challenge President Weinman in Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart. 100% of donations went to Sparrow's Nest, and I am thankful for their involvement in the event as well.Skilled in Quantum Computing, Python, Creative problem solving, Public Speaking, Javascript, Microsoft Excel, Leadership, and the Adobe CC Suite
