Profile: https://flows.cv/hongjiechen

As a Computer Science student at NYU, I am passionate about cybersecurity and its applications across various domains. I hold a minor in cybersecurity and possess multiple certifications from CompTIA, Azure, and AWS, which highlight my proficiency and dedication to the field.

I've gained valuable hands-on experience as a cybersecurity consultant at EY, employing agile methodology for in-depth research and analysis of supply chain security. Additionally, as a web security administrator at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, I orchestrated penetration testing plans, collaborated with the team to proactively enhance website security through regular audits, vulnerability assessments, and timely deployment of security patches and updates.

At EdgeworthBox, Inc., I utilized my data science and AI skills to develop and automate an ETL system for the secure management of procurement records spanning 39 countries.

My ultimate career goal is to contribute to the cybersecurity field by solving real-world challenges, safeguarding data and systems from threats, and actively engaging with experts and peers within the cybersecurity community and industry.
