Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Hale is a multidisciplinary systems analyst and sworn Police Lieutenant with 11+ years managing IT and public safety operations at Iowa State University. He blends deep hands‑on engineering—C/C++, C#, Python, microcontrollers, Fusion360 and CNC/3D printing—with security expertise as an OSCP/OSWP-certified red teamer and contributor to the Metasploit project. Joshua administers county-wide VPN/MFA, digital evidence systems, Splunk, Malwarebytes Nebula, and bespoke C#/Crystal Reports tooling that serve multiple public-safety agencies. He also leads incident command and training as a firearms and active-shooter instructor, uniquely pairing operational crisis experience with technical incident response. Not obvious from his title: he routinely rebuilds parking paystations for PCI compliance and fabricates custom hardware solutions for campus police.
