About Christopher Barroso

I am someone who wants to kick back relax and enjoy what life has to offer, but my brain won't let me sit down and do nothing all day. What started out as a video game addiction as a kid turned into a love for computers and technology. I still remember the day I built my first PC and the joy it brought me to see it finally come to life! From there I continued to play my games but also learned more about technology, programming, hardware, and networking, it's what I wanted to do with my life. My part-time job at geek squad gave me a taste of IT support in retail and after finishing my degree and accepted a position as the IT support specialist at Western High School. This gave me a better view of I.T. support specialists in an organization. I learned more and continued working at Western when the field of Cyber Security piqued my interest. Back to school, I went in pursuit of a Master of Science in Cyber Security at FIU. While studying, I started applying for new work as I started to notice my stagnation in the support role at Western and my new studies driving me forward. I was fortunate enough to land a role with Schroth Safety Products LLC, where my role inst exactly Cyber Security but I play a significant role in keeping the company safe. As I continue my studies I am now learning both in the classroom and in the field and it's an exciting time in my life where I can feel my brain exploding with information. Of course, when I'm not hitting the books or learning about a new assignment at work, you can find me online with my friends enjoying a few rounds of whatever game we might be playing that night maybe Warzone, maybe Valorant, or perhaps I'm enjoying a fun single player. Some people mock adults who still play video games, but I stuck to my roots and kept my games around, after all, video games are what started my interest in technology in the first place, and I can't abandon them now.
