About Devon


Bio

I tutor to ensure that the future of cyber security and computer science have the most well-prepared professionals of the next generation. Cyber Security is a relatively new field and courses and instructional materials available for interested students are lacking to say the least. I hope that my experience in the field of computer science and cyber security will give those aspiring to join me in this industry the best chance to do so.

I tutor to ensure that the future of cyber security and computer science have the most well-prepared professionals of the next generation. Cyber Security is a relatively new field and courses and instructional materials available for interested students are lacking to say the least. I hope that my experience in the field of computer science and cyber security will give those aspiring to join me in this industry the best chance to do so.

I am currently a penetration tester and red teamer based out of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. Previously, I was a Cryptologic Warfare Officer for the US Navy and conducted offensive cyber operations for USCYBERCOMMAND and the National Security Agency (NSA). I started tutoring as a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy as part of a student-run group study program, where I tutored my peers in computer programming, networks, and cyber security. After graduation, I moved to tutoring a local high school teacher so that he could effectively teach a new cyber security class offered at the school. I then went on to graduate school at the Naval Postgraduate School where I continued to tutor while I earned my masters in Computer Science. While at the Naval Postgraduate School, I traveled to Europe numerous times to assist the US Department of Defense instructors in teaching a class to NATO officers on cyber security.

I have experience with the following college-level courses: programming languages, computer architecture, networks, object-oriented programming, natural language processing, theory of computing, systems programming, advanced cyber vulnerability assessment, reverse engineering, and cyber exploitation. I am proficient in: C, C++, x86, Java, HTML, Javascript, Python, php, bash, and more. I have achieved the following certifications: CEH, Network+, Security+, and OSCP. I am available to help prepare for these certification exams—especially OSCP. I also am available to help prepare for job interviews for a Penetration Tester or Red Team position.

Discrete Math

I have taken discrete mathematics as an undergraduate at the United States Naval Academy and received an 'A' in the course. Discrete Mathematics is the foundation for many of the following high-level Computer Science courses I have taken as an undergraduate, so I routinely referenced my notes from Discrete Math. I assisted many of my classmates with the course both while I took it and once I had completed the course.

Knowledgeable

Devon is exactly the right person to help me with my course. His knowledge of cyber security, computer networking on packet level, and linux allowed me to learn course material very efficiently.

Knowledgeable tutor!

Devon is patient, and know his stuff/material very well....took time to break everything down for me and was very understanding as I was a little uncomfortable since this was my first online tutoring session. I would definitely recommend him.

Patient Instructor

Devon was very patient to answer my questions on C++ even though I had no knowledge. He advised me on what to do further in the course. I was very satisfied with his input.
