I am Daniel, and I transferred to Old Dominion University after my associate degree at Tidewater Community College. I am a Navy veteran, and I work full-time as a network specialist. Much of my interest in cybersecurity is driven by my daily work and the desire to learn more than I already know. I like to learn about how computer systems operate, how to secure them, and how to address actual problems impacting users and organizations. I learn best by doing, so I value labs, hands-on practice, and real situations that let me apply what I study. I am originally from a country of French speaking, and being able to speak both French and English is another strength I bring, since it helps me connect with different people and gives me a wider point of view. I am currently in my last semester, and I am focusing on graduating and getting ready for the next chapter in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-25 has-custom-font-size is-style-fill\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-brown-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/danielakpovi\/contact\/\" style=\"border-radius:46px\">Contact<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my e-portfolio!
