Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Simko is a penetration tester with nine years of hands-on experience in systems engineering and offensive security, currently testing defenses at Coalfire. He parlayed a foundation as a Student Systems Engineer at Oregon State University's Open Source Lab into practical security skills and a summer internship that led to his current role. Paul combines deep system-level understanding from running open-source infrastructure with a hacker mindset for finding real-world vulnerabilities. He holds an Honors BE in Computer Science from Oregon State and brings a pragmatic, audit-focused approach to assessments. Colleagues would note his blend of operational discipline and curiosity—he's as comfortable debugging infrastructure as devising complex attack chains.
