About Me

I’m Charles Degboe, a senior at the University of Louisville majoring in Computer Information Systems with a double concentration in Business Process Management and Cybersecurity. I’m passionate about using technology to solve problems, improve processes, and create secure, data-driven solutions.

Through both coursework and my internship, I’ve developed a solid foundation in data analysis, networking, database design, and system security. I’ve worked with real-world data to uncover trends and improve efficiency, while also learning how business operations and cybersecurity go hand-in-hand.

While I’m still exploring which path I want to focus on long-term, I’m excited about the possibilities in tech — whether it’s improving business processes, securing digital environments, or working with data to drive smarter decisions. I'm eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing wherever I can add the most value.

Technical Skills

Projects

Web & Software Development

Gained hands-on experience in object-oriented programming using C#, focusing on classes, methods, encapsulation, and inheritance to build functional applications (CIS 199). Later applied system development life cycle principles in a team-based capstone project (CIS 420), where we designed, developed, tested, and deployed a working web-based information system using a prototyping approach with iterative testing and user feedback.

Cybersecurity

Built a comprehensive foundation in cybersecurity across three core courses. Explored information security principles such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, access control, intrusion detection, risk management, and legal/privacy considerations (CIS 481). Applied this knowledge to network security strategies including firewalls, protocol analysis, threat mitigation, disaster recovery, and auditing (CIS 480). Gained hands-on experience in digital forensics through evidence collection, analysis, and legal reporting using specialized tools and methodologies (CIS 484).
