MSU Denver Graduate • Available for full-time roles

Hi, I’m Josh Gordon 👋

Computer Science Graduate

I specialize in Networking, Cybersecurity, and Software Development building tools in Java, Python, and Go, with Flask/FastAPI backends, semantic HTML + Tailwind CSS on the front end, and Bash/Linux Automation with SQL for data work. My projects span firewalls, intrusion detection, secure file transfer, and vulnerability analysis, grounded in MSU Denver’s CS fundamentals across algorithms & data structures, operating systems, databases, and computer networks.
