John Gerken IV

As a graduate from Wake Technical Community College with an Associate in Applied Science with a specialization in Simulation and Game Development, I bring a robust background in programming and a passion for leveraging technology to solve complex challenges to almost everything I do. 

​

My proficiency in programming, particularly in C# for game development using Unity Game Engine, has endowed me with a solid foundation in software development principles and problem-solving methodologies. Moreover, my exposure to languages such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Python has broadened my technical repertoire and equipped me with the adaptability necessary to thrive in dynamic environments.

​

Recognizing the growing importance of cybersecurity in today's digital landscape, I graduated from a Cybersecurity Bootcamp at North Carolina State University and now have my CompTIA Security+ certification. The decision to do this was driven by a desire to contribute to safeguarding digital assets and ensuring the integrity of information systems.

​

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained practical experience in the workforce, demonstrating adaptability, diligence, and a strong work ethic through my current role at Harris Teeter, where I undertake cleaning and maintenance responsibilities, in addition to being a cashier while I look for better opportunities.

​

I am now eagerly seeking opportunities in either the game development or cybersecurity industries. With a blend of academic knowledge, practical experience, and a relentless drive for professional growth, I am poised to make meaningful contributions to any organization.
