About

Hi, my name is Tom Ho. I'm a senior at the University of Washington, majoring in Information Technology and Systems with a focus on CyberSecurity. I am also a Year Up United alumnus, where I pursued their Quality Assurance Track. I have skills in Computer Networking, Hardware Management, Cyber Security, C#, Python, Powershell, and Linux/Windows Administration. I am also looking to obtain my CCNA certification by the time I graduate. I've always had an interest in technology and have been enjoying the exploration as I transitioned from my time at Year Up, where I focused more on programming, to where I am now doing more I.T./Cyber Security Work. Throughout these past few years of my education, I've learned to be proactive and continue to seek out new skills, whether it be technical or practical; there's always a use for it somewhere. I would love the opportunity to spread my passion for tech to not only continue to develop myself but those around me as well.
