My name is Andrew Nelson and I am a Accelerated Master's student at VCU. My interests lie in Cybersecurity, Linux, Mainframe, and Software Engineering in that order! What you probably learned from that is that I'm interested in everything Computer Science, which is not true. However my interests are broad.
I wanted this site to be a place where I can show off some of the work I've done in College in addition to sharing some of my thoughts on various topics. I've wanted to host a blog for a long time because I do a lot of writing to begin with, but much of this writing is just for my own eyes. I decided this summer that other people's eyes also need to see my thoughts too though so here we are! If you want more information on some of my projects I am working on please refer to my github. If you would like my resume please email me. Otherwise I have a brief list of my experiences and skills below in addition to what can be found on the github.
My socials are linked to the right under my latest blog post if you'd like to know more about me or anything on this website. I'd prefer you reach out to me via LinkedIn or the email provided, thank you.
Hi, I'm Andrew!
