Highlights

In his own words

I am in pursuit of my Cybersecurity Bachelor's degree with SANS Technology Institute. Cybersecurity is a field that has always fascinated me, naturally, because of the unknown inherent flaws in programs and protocols, which can be exploited at anytime, from anywhere, by anyone(kind of). And the fact that I love solving elusive problems like a detective and catching the perpetrators. Prior to embarking on this learning journey, I was a Project Manager with Webcor Builders in San Francisco. My main role focused on Electrical, low voltage (networks), and access controls project management. I was involved with a Facebook high-rise and the Salesforce Transbay Transit Center. Before Webcor, I was an electrical estimator/PM in SF, and, before that I was a Project manager/builder of high-end residential projects in Belmont, CA. Before my stint in construction, I was in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years (2010-2014) as a team leader, and have been twice deployed to Afghanistan. https://www.linkedin.com/in/elias-bouzeid/
