EdisonLin.
I build, troubleshoot, and learn on real infrastructure—networks, servers, security controls, monitoring systems, and the hardware between them.
02 / ABOUT
Practical IT.
Security mindset.
I’m a Computer Information Systems graduate specializing in cybersecurity. I’m most at home when I can get hands-on: tracing a network problem, building a segmented lab, standing up server services, or figuring out why two systems refuse to talk to each other.
My home lab is where I test ideas before they become résumé bullets. It combines enterprise networking, virtualization, Active Directory, secure remote access, surveillance, alarm monitoring, and VoIP in one environment that I continuously change, break, document, and improve.
I also create technical content and work with alarm systems as a hobby, which keeps me close to physical infrastructure as well as traditional IT.

04 / CYBERSECURITY
Six seasons of NCL.
Twelve National Cyber League game credentials across six consecutive seasons, with both Individual and Team participation from Fall 2022 through Spring 2025.
What is NCL?
The National Cyber League is a student cybersecurity competition built around hands-on challenges that simulate real security work. The Individual Game tests each participant's own problem-solving, while the Team Game adds collaboration and shared strategy.
