About me

I am from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I grew up playing hockey, soccer, golf, and basketball (in that order). I also went to school, worked hard, did well, and managed somehow to get into Harvard University, where I completed a Ph.D. in 2001. Since then, I have taught at four universities: one year at L'viv National University in Ukraine; seven years at California State University, Bakersfield; eight more years at Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey; and more recently at the University of Victoria (just one course, as a sessional instructor, on the history of rock and roll).

Recently, I decided to change my career path. In November 2020, I completed the Lighthouse Labs Web Development BootCamp. Then, I learned Data Science, and in July 2022, I successfully completed the Data Analyst Certification at Datacamp.com. In September 2022, I completed DataCamp's certification as a professional data scientist. In July 2023, I passed the CompTIA Security+ examination. Finally, in December 2022, I began Springboard's Cybersecurity Track, which I completed in September 2023. I am looking for Cybersecurity role in any sphere of IT. I am adept in Python, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SASS, Ruby, Rails, Node, and React; I also know Linux and MS Powershell. I have learned test-driven development, focusing on these testing packages: Mocha, Chai, JEST, Cypress, Storybook, and rspec.

I am open to any kind of work related to my skills, but I am now focused on Web dev and Cybersecurity.
