About Andrew Smith

The four most commonly used passwords are 'love','sex','secret', and 'god'."- The Plague, Hackers (1995) I am a young, but motivated individual that recently graduated from Maryville University of Saint Louis with a Master's in Cybersecurity in August of 2021. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science from SUNY New Paltz in May of 2017. Since 2017, I have been working as a software developer at PrecisionCare Software. This organization develops an electronic health records system. This position has provided me with valuable web development skills including creating and designing web pages, programming both front-end logic using JavaScript and back-end logic utilizing ASP.Net which uses C# and VBScript. It has also provided experience with SQL Server, Windows Servers, IIS, and more. It has made me familiar with NYS regulations and HIPAA compliance. In 2020, I was given the title of Security Coordinator in which my primary responsibilities included creating procedures and guidelines for information security to reduce the risk of incidents at the organization, as well as, implementing and executing the security awareness training within the organization. At the organization, we decided to develop our procedures and guidelines following the NIST Cyber Security Framework. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my pets, one dog and two cats, spending time with my partner, developing video games, and creating things with my 3D printers.
