Background

About John Haskell

For over 20 years, I've lived and breathed technology; from managing high-level engineering teams to maintaining supercomputers. Today, I've channeled that deep industry experience into my true passion: forging the next generation of elite cybersecurity and cloud professionals. My teaching philosophy is simple: the classroom should be a direct reflection of the real world. The gap between academic theory and the practical skills needed on day one of a tech career is a challenge I am dedicated to solving. I don't just teach from a textbook; I literally write them, with over 15 published course books used in my curriculum. To bring these concepts to life, I've developed the curriculum from books to hands-on labs platform giving students the practical, real-world experience they need to succeed. My foundation in the industry; leading DevOps and engineering teams at Dish Network and working in critical infrastructure environments; ensures that my curriculum is always current, relevant, and focused on the skills employers are actively hiring for. Areas of Expertise: Cybersecurity Education & Curriculum Development Cloud Architecture (AWS, Azure) & Automation Grant Writing & Management (NSF) Network Engineering & Security Student Mentorship & Hands-On Lab Creation DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines I'm always open to connecting with fellow educators, industry leaders, and prospective students. Let's connect and discuss the future of technology education.
