About me

Hi, my name is Justin Shim, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Technology with a focus on Cyber Security. I have a deep passion for tackling complex cybersecurity challenges, and I’m always working on personal projects to stay ahead of emerging trends in the field. Over the years, I’ve participated in and won several hackathons, where I’ve honed my ability to work under pressure with a team to create solutions to real-world problems.

What drives me is the combination of innovation and hands-on experience, and I’m always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow. I’m actively seeking full-time roles where I can apply my skills in cybersecurity, risk management, and ethical hacking to help organizations protect their digital assets and build secure, resilient infrastructures in today’s rapidly changing tech landscape.
