My name is Thomas Julian Ayres, and I am currently 24 years old. Technology is my life, and has been since I was three years old and moving icons around on my dad's ancient e-Machine.
I have an affinity for teaching, which has lead me to many tutoring jobs in the past that include college math, violin, chemistry, physics, programming, Information Technology, and Cybersecurity. I have been in many places of leadership in my life, with my most noticible achivements being the attainment of Eagle Scout rank with the Boy Scouts of America, a black belt in Traditional Korean Taekwondo, and the co-founding of the IT/Cyber Club at Full Sail University.
I am a very cybersecurity-focused individual and have years of personal study surrounding information security, programming (C++, Python 3), Linux, and red-teaming. I do capture the flag challenges in my free time, and have always tried to stay up to date with the latest cyber news!
My hobbies include reading fantasy/sci-fi/horror/cybersecurity books, practicing metal on the guitar, playing violin, 3D printing, electronics/circuit design, and cooking. I do quite a bit of gaming, and have a fondness for Dark Souls 1/2/3 and Elden Ring.
