Who I Am

I'm Deep Patel, a Cybersecurity Operations student based in Carol Stream, IL. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Operations at Dakota State University while having completed an Associate in Applied Science at College of DuPage.

I have hands-on experience in Linux and Windows environments, penetration testing, network security, and IT support through my internship at Hagerty Consulting in Evanston, IL. I'm motivated to protect digital spaces and build solutions that defend users and organisations from real-world threats.

I speak English, Hindi, and Gujarati, and I thrive working in multicultural, collaborative teams.
