Hello, my name is Dylan Hess. I am currently halfway through my junior year at Old Dominion University and am on track to completing my bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity in May, 2027. My goal is to complete my degree and hopefully gain meaningful employment in an information technology role. I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps and during my time I did gain some general IT experience. I also currently hold the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Analyst and the Splunk Core Certified Power User certifications.
