Background

About Jomar Garcia

I’m a Computer Science major at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, focusing on Cybersecurity. I’m passionate about technology that helps people stay connected and secure, and I enjoy learning how software and hardware work together to solve real-world problems.Before college, I gained hands-on experience teaching coding and robotics through the Youth Development Organization, where I introduced students to programming with Scratch, Python, and Micro:bit robotics. I also completed early-college coursework at Merrimack College in data science, statistics, and political studies, earning transferable college credit while strengthening my analytical and research skills.My professional background includes work at Dick’s House of Sport, where I serve as a Climbing Instructor ensuring guest safety and engagement, and at WorldCom Exchange Inc, where I contributed to fabricating and configuring hardware systems for CVS retail locations. These experiences have helped me build teamwork, communication, and technical problem-solving skills that translate directly to my studies and career goals.I’m currently expanding my programming knowledge in C while developing a deeper understanding of cybersecurity principles and system security. I’m driven by curiosity, collaboration, and creativity—and I’m always looking for opportunities to grow through projects, internships, or research that blend people, technology, and impact.
