My Role at TSC

As a Software Developer at TSC, I am always looking for new ways to make our products and offerings more efficient and well-rounded behind the scenes. As the man in the boiler room, I have my hands on a lot of valves, looking to help my colleagues with my skills and strengths.

Why I love working at TSC

The people at TSC are so friendly and supportive, it really is a lovely place to work. I also like that our objective of cybersecurity awareness is pure and teaching/protecting people against legitimate threats is a fulfilling goal. Also, as a Software Developer, I love the technology we use and the ability to experiment and be creative with my projects. 

What I want to change in cybersecurity awareness

Spam messaged and quantity over quality attacks. I think a lot of people are still falling victim to spam messages and phishing attempts, which is frustrating as TSC's ultimate goal is to educate everyone on cyber threats and cyber criminal activity.
