Hello all, full disclosure, I spend my days writing code and automating repetitive tasks. Introductions in this context are a repetitive task so those who have been in prior classes with me have seen some variation of the introduction below.\u00a0 Need to read on; questionable. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My name is Rich Bocchinfuso; I hold a BS in Computer Information Systems and I am pursuing an MS in Information Technology with a specialization in Cybersecurity at Florida Tech. I am 45 years years old and have been in technology for ~ the past 23 years, and I am lucky in the sense that my career as a technologist and developer is also my passion because I spend 10 to 15 hours a day in front of a computer. I live in New Jersey and work in from somewhere in the world on any given day (flying over 100K miles a year that is probably the best way to describe it). I am married to my amazing wife of eighteen years, Gwen, and we have two little girls Maddy who is thirteen and Eden who is seven. Both my wife and I are originally from Pennsylvania, but we have made in New Jersey our home for the past twenty years.<\/p>\n

My desire to attend graduate school is driven by personal fulfillment as well as a desire to develop skills which will allow me to grow professionally. My goal is to complete the master’s program in information technology with a specialization in cybersecurity and to make practical use of the academic skills I acquire. I am a driven self-starter who is committed to achieving my educational and professional goals. With the half-life of discrete technical knowledge shrinking I have been leveraging learning platforms such as Coursera, edX, Udemy, CloudAcademy, Pluralsight, CBT Nuggets, Codeacademy, SoloLearn, PentesterLab and others for years to combat mental atrophy. I regularly listen to and watch podcasts, and read industry publications and whitepapers to stay abreast of industry happenings.<\/p>\n

For as long as I can remember I have loved tinkering and it is this love of tinkering that became the basis of my love of computing and technology. Over the past twenty-plus years, I have invested an immense amount of time honing my craft. I am an avid maker; I enjoy building things, writing about and sharing what I create. For the past ten years, I have been maintaining and sharing my ideas via my blogs:<\/p>\n
