Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Paragoso is a cybersecurity specialist and software engineering graduate with eight years of hands-on IT and security experience, currently based in Honolulu. He combines formal training in Java, C++ and Assembly with practical roles across the Air Force, Apex Systems, and independent contracting to secure networks, harden systems, and optimize datacenter operations. Joshua has moved from ISP/OSP and IT specialist roles into mid-level cybersecurity positions, bringing a pragmatic blend of policy-driven enforcement and field-level infrastructure improvements. Notably, he has reorganized fiber layouts and refurbished server hardware to reduce interference and increase operational efficiency—work that reflects a systems-first mindset often missing in pure security roles. His dual experience in military cyber surety and commercial IT gives him a disciplined approach to compliance and incident prevention while remaining comfortable with hands-on engineering. Joshua is focused on translating foundational software engineering skills into measurable security outcomes for mission-critical environments.
