About Me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Donovan Bigby, a student interested in cybersecurity and information technology. I\u2019m currently learning the basics of system security, networking, and how to identify and prevent common security risks through hands-on class labs and projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m especially curious about how vulnerabilities happen and how small security mistakes can turn into big problems. My goal is to keep building real, practical cyber skills, get more comfortable with security tools, and eventually work in a tech or cybersecurity-related role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
