About Simon Andan-Dedic

Hi there! I'm Simon Andan-Dedic. My professional journey kicked off in the bustling world of restaurant management, where I spent over a decade sharpening my skills in operations, strategic planning, and on-the-spot problem-solving. After thriving at Chipotle Mexican Grill, I discovered my true calling lay at the crossroads of analysis and technology, leading me straight into the exciting field of Cybersecurity. I recently graduated with distinction (GPA 3.7) from Bellevue University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity, alongside certifications in CompTIA Security+, Cloud+, Network+, and A+. While restaurants and cybersecurity might seem worlds apart, they share something important: anticipating risks, acting quickly, and delivering seamless experiences—whether serving delicious food or safeguarding digital environments. My background allows me to approach cybersecurity with a fresh perspective, blending my hands-on operational experience with strong technical expertise. I thrive in dynamic, challenging situations, whether that means streamlining processes, uncovering vulnerabilities, or creating innovative security solutions. I'd be delighted to connect if you're passionate about cybersecurity and tech or simply love exchanging ideas. Let's make the digital landscape safer and more resilient together!
