Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Gergens is an application security engineer with nine years of professional experience blending hands-on cybersecurity practice, teaching, and program leadership from Twin Falls, Idaho. He has transitioned from a decade-plus academic career—shaping cybersecurity curriculum and mentoring students at the College of Southern Idaho and Boise State’s Cyberdome—to a practitioner role securing applications at Ignite Retail Technology. Comfortable across education, operations, and engineering, he pairs practical offensive and defensive security knowledge with systems and network foundations honed at Dell and through a BS in IT Networks Design & Management. An educator at heart, he actively helps students land internships and real-world experience while building tools and projects aimed at making security more accessible. Outside work he tinkers with electronics and amateur radio, bringing a maker’s curiosity to solving security problems that often sit at the intersection of hardware and software. Practical, student-focused, and curious, he’s as likely to prototype a hardware-enabled security demo as he is to harden a web application.
