John Gerken IV

As an Associate in Applied Science graduate with a specialization in Simulation and Game Development from Wake Technical Community College, I bring a robust background in programming and a passion for leveraging technology to solve complex challenges to almost everything I do. 

​

My proficiency in programming, particularly in C# for game development using Unity Game Engine, has endowed me with a solid foundation in software development principles and problem-solving methodologies. Moreover, my exposure to languages such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Python has broadened my technical repertoire and equipped me with the adaptability necessary to thrive in dynamic environments.

​

Recognizing the growing importance of cybersecurity in today's digital landscape, I am actively augmenting my skill set by pursuing further education in IT and cybersecurity, driven by a desire to contribute to safeguarding digital assets and ensuring the integrity of information systems.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained practical experience in the workforce, demonstrating adaptability, diligence, and a strong work ethic through my current role at Harris Teeter, where I undertake cleaning and maintenance responsibilities, in addition to being a cashier while I look for better opportunities.

​

I am now eagerly seeking opportunities in either the game development or cybersecurity industries. With a blend of academic knowledge, practical experience, and a relentless drive for professional growth, I am poised to make meaningful contributions to any organization.
