Hello 
friend
, my name is 
Alexander Economy
.  I am an up and coming cybersecurity specialist with a BS in Computer Science.  As of October 2024, I have been working for NetSPI as a 
Security Consultant II
, specifically performing 
web application penetration testing and secure code review
.





I believe the greatest skills I possess are: creativity, dedication, and a thirst for knowledge. The best way for me to demonstrate these skills is through a peek into who I am as a person.  Since I was very young, I was hooked on anything electronics; a trip to Fry's Electronics was just as entertaining as a trip to Disney World.  I grew up a dedicated gamer (Nintendo for life) who loved to mod any game that offered up the opportunity to do so. This led to a very creative technological upbringing that ultimately taught me this: 
if an idea can be thought of, it can be created using an array of technology, and a pinch of creativity
.


Through 2 years at Texas A&M University and 3 years at the University of North Texas, I have sharpened my C++/C skills to a fine point, which helped establish a very core fundamental knowledge of most programming languages in general and confidence that any language can be learned expediently and efficiently.  When a program beats you down with the 
MAX_INT
'th segmentation fault, it takes a significant amount of dedication to keep calm and code on.  I remember many, many 12+ hour coding sessions riddled with error and lots of coffee.  At the end of the day though, staying dedicated to my projects, both personal and professional, leads me to gain applicable experience to the real world and lab environments.
