About

My name is Joshua Smith, and I hope to one day help make the cyber world safer and more secure for everybody.

I am currently a compsci major at UTRGV, working on a minor in cyber security. I've always loved technology growing up, and with how important computers are to the whole world in the modern day, I love the thought of being able to help improve them, and in turn, improve humanity.

Career goal

I am currently working as a part time developer for OD Corp, but once I finish my work on my Cyber Security minor, I plan on moving into the cyber sec department of the company.

From there, I'll go wherever the wind takes me. I'm open to moving companies if even better opportunities present themselves, but my current company treats me very well and I intend to stick with them.
