Nicholas Catapano Email & Phone Number

I am currently a cyber security major studying information security, and a passionate software engineer who has a love for web development. Intrigued by the variety of coding languages and the ever-evolving world of technology, I've been deeply immersed in software development since 2017. I am able to diligently manage my time and break up larger projects into multiple tasks, which allows me to deliver high-quality results on time. I can showcase my adeptness in thriving under pressure, and to contribute as a valuable asset for any team.Since August 2023 onward, I have been actively engaged with Maspeth Town Hall in the role of a Technology Instructor. My job is to teach younger students the fundamentals of coding through the Black Rocket program. Beyond the instructional aspect, my role extends to creating engaging lessons and fostering individual connections with each student to address their specific educational needs. From September 2023 to December 2023, I served as a Cyber Security Intern with New Jersey Courts. As a team of 7, our focus centered around hardening and securing Ubuntu and CentOS virtual machines, which provided me valuable insight on how to properly secure a Linux server. In addition to my dedication to cyber security, I devote my free time to collecting vintage video games. My passion extends to modifying these games, giving them hardware and software enhancements. Through techniques such as soldering, I replace components in older video game systems to elongate their lifespan or enhance their capabilities. Furthermore, I enjoy hacking games using assembly language to develop new experiences from the framework of older video games.My ultimate goal is to make a lasting impact in the software industry, crafting a legacy of innovation, excellence, and fellowship along the way.
