Background

About Bryan Fahn

I’m a cybersecurity and IT support professional with hands-on experience in both technical troubleshooting and offensive security. After graduating from the ThriveDX Cybersecurity Bootcamp at NJIT, I joined Tern as a cybersecurity intern, where I’ve contributed directly to real-world penetration testing and original research on advanced computing models. At Tern, I perform full-scope penetration testing across production and sandbox domains, using tools like Nmap, FFUF, GoSpider, Nikto, Burp Suite, and cURL within a Kali Linux environment on macOS (via UTM). I focus on identifying misconfigured security headers, brute-forcing undocumented API endpoints, and testing for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities such as SSRF and XSS. I present my findings weekly to the software development and quality control teams, and my work has directly contributed to improved domain security and resolved vulnerabilities. Alongside technical testing, I authored a three-part research series exploring how ternary computing can transform cybersecurity, blockchain infrastructure, and secure hardware design. These projects reflect a combination of forward-thinking innovation and hands-on execution. My background also includes experience in high-pressure customer-facing roles, where I developed strong communication, time management, and problem-solving skills — qualities that continue to serve me well when collaborating with developers and reporting findings clearly and professionally. I’m now seeking a full-time opportunity as a Penetration Tester, SOC Analyst, IT Support Specialist, or Entry-Level Security Analyst. I bring technical depth, clear communication, and a mindset built on continuous learning and adaptability — ready to contribute meaningfully to any security-focused team.
