About Me
Hello everyone, my name is Walter Smith and I am 40 years old and am located in Lexington Kentucky. I moved to Kentucky in 2018 and it has been very kind to me since then. In my spare time, I enjoy puzzles, trivial, playing guitar, and playing pool among other things. I am a huge movie buff and love to take an afternoon and go to the theatre and forget my troubles for a couple of hours. I also have a calico cat named Nova and she basically runs the place and I just pay for things. She is a sweetie and guards the apartment when I am away.
My experience with programming is still a high level understanding. I have been introduced to object oriented programming and have some experience in Java and python. I have also been introduced to web development and have some experience in HTML and CSS. I also have taken a databases course that introduced my to managing databases with SQL.
Before pursuing my bachelors degree here, I attained my associates degree in cybersecurity. There I was introduced to Linux and bash and currently run Kali Linux on my laptop. while getting my Associates, I also was introduced to cryptography and digital forensics, as well as password cracking and port scanning. I was also introduced to the security fundamentals of Linux, including making secure accounts and escalating privileges and checking logs. I really enjoyed my cybersecurity training, but lacked the basic fundamentals of computer science and that's what I hope to achieve with this degree path.
