Leo JD Ridgwell

Motto: Creativity and Possibilities with technology

I am currently studying a Computer Science degree at Coventry University, and I am predicted to achieve a 1st in my degree.

I have always been interested in the internals of electronic devices, and I was inspired to learn programming at a higher education level.

I am now seeking experience in a technology environment to build upon my existing skillset and bring my knowledge of computing and cyber security to the organization.

I am more commonly known as the name “StuxieDev” online.

My Experience

Working in the Cyber Security Industry for 2.5 yrs & as a System Administrator / Web Developer 

During the 2.5 years of working within the Cyber Security Industry, I gained a lot of experience and useful skills needed within the workplace. It was an apprenticeship and it was my 1st job. I attended a lot of training sessions to increase my knowledge about the industry.

Prior to working in the Cyber Security Industry, I did various work experiences involving multiple roles. Such as a System Administrator / Web Developer, Customer Support, Technical Support and learning the internals of electronic devices.

InteliSecure Ltd.

Triage Analyst

I used to oversee and protect the confidential data of various clients by scanning and reporting users who have sent data to areas they should not have. I had to analyse a lot of data every day, so I had to manage my time accordingly. I also had to work heavily within a team and so I had to often lead the team, help others out and be led by other members of the team. I also had to professionally communicate with clients.
