Hi, I’m Chaitanyakumar Patel, currently pursuing a cybersecurity major at Old Dominion University with hands-on experience in technical support and IT management. I’ve worked on installing systems, troubleshooting hardware and software, and managing network connections. My experience as a general manager at a restaurant also helped me develop strong leadership and teamwork skills. I’m passionate about cybersecurity and committed to learning more while applying my skills to real-world challenges.

Beyond academics, I’m passionate about staying active and engaged in my community. I enjoy playing cricket, a sport that has taught me the importance of teamwork and strategy—qualities that I also bring to my academic and professional work. In my downtime, I love watching Marvel movies, which fuel my creativity and give me a chance to unwind while exploring imaginative storylines and characters.
