Hi, I’m Jack.

Hello, my name is Jack Gerber. I'm a recent BCIT CST graduate, and I'm eager to be in the security and tech industry. Since a young age, I’ve always loved problem solving and understanding how things work. I originally got into development and spent a lot of time experimenting with game projects, websites, and anything that let me build something cool. As I learned more about cybersecurity and saw how real attacks impact people and businesses, my focus shifted. I became driven to protect systems and make the internet a safer place. The exciting mix of investigation, defense, and technical challenges truly motivate me.

Before getting into tech, I spent several years working in the culinary industry. It was a demanding environment, but it taught me to stay organized, work under pressure, and communicate clearly with the people around me. When COVID paused my plans to attend culinary school, I used that time to explore other interests and quickly found myself back in front of a computer writing code. I enrolled at BCIT and gained strong experience with software engineering fundamentals. I learned about secure coding, Linux, operating systems, networking, authentication, and a variety of SQL databases. I was especially interested in full stack development and hands-on cybersecurity. These skills, combined with my work ethic and curiosity, are what I bring into every project and team.
