Background

About Justin Bess

As a highly adaptable and fast-learning professional, I bring over a decade of experience in Linux operating systems to the table. With a passion for programming, cybersecurity, and continuous learning, I have honed my skills in a wide range of technologies and disciplines. My expertise spans across responsive web design, PHP, Python, Ruby, relational and non-relational databases, Git, frameworks such as Wordpress, Laravel, React, Angular, and Ruby on Rails, jQuery, API systems, cybersecurity, and graphic design using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, and more. I pride myself on my ability to quickly grasp new concepts and technologies with minimal guidance. Currently, I am a Level 5 Software Development Engineer at Amazon, where I have also gained valuable leadership and management experience. I have previously co-founded, led, and managed a CTF team that competes in cybersecurity challenges, completed numerous courses at pentesteracademy.com, and reported several significant vulnerabilities to security@amazon.com related to internal tools. I hold a diploma in Graphic Design and Web Development from Tennessee College of Applied Technology, reflecting my well-rounded background in both the technical and creative aspects of the industry.
