Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCole Penning is a pragmatic backend manager and corporate software developer with a decade of experience modernizing legacy systems and running database and server operations for enterprise audio-video services. He began coding as a teen building widely viewed MySpace layouts and later parlayed that curiosity into research on botnets and buffer overflows as a university research assistant. At Ford Audio-Video he leads backend development, database administration, and project management while introducing version control, backups, and security practices to aging codebases. His toolkit spans OpenEdge ABL (classic and PASOE), REST endpoints, web front ends (HTML/CSS/JS/PHP), JSDO and Kendo UI, plus hands-on network and database hardening. Unusually, he’s built bespoke hardware-software projects—like a Raspberry Pi “laptop” in a briefcase running a custom Kali kernel—illustrating a blend of practical security insight and creative engineering. Based in Oklahoma City, he combines systems-level thinking with a knack for turning maintenance-heavy environments into more reliable, auditable platforms.
