About Me

Hi! I’m Pablo, an I.T. professional and cybersecurity student. I’m currently attending NC State University and have been interested in everything computers since before I could read. Classes and school are my priority at the moment, but I am always on the lookout for new opportunities. When I’m not working on my homelab or taking apart old tech, you’ll find me going out with my friends or playing the viola.
