Alex J. Wilcox

Bio

Hello! My name is Alex Wilcox and I'm a senior at High Point University completing a B.S. in Computer Science with a cybersecurity specialization. Computers and technology have always fascinated me ever since I was a kid. I built my first PC in high school and took what classes were offered. In college, I greatly expanded my skills through high-level courses, CompTIA certificates, and a systems administration internship last summer.

I'm currently working on my senior year coursework, studying for CompTIA Security+, and building a video game in Unity. I'm seeking a post-graduation role (May 2026) in IT, cybersecurity, or penetration testing. From playing video games and speed-typing to network management and penetration testing today, I'm constantly looking to expand my technical knowledge and skills.
