What colleagues and peers say about working with me
Ernest and I went to Per Scholas for the Cybersecurity training program. Ernest is a knowledgeable person and has a strong cybersecurity background. People would contact Ernest for help with firewall questions, TCP/IP, and Cisco routers. Also, Ernest always completed his work until the very end efficiently and accurately.
I highly recommend Ernest as a mentor in cybersecurity. His extensive knowledge and guidance were instrumental in helping me understand best practices. He not only ensured my success but also played a crucial role in the entire group passing the CompTIA CySA+ certificate. Ernest's dedication to fostering learning and excellence is truly commendable.
Ernest and I attended Per Scholas Cybersecurity program. Ernest worked very hard and passed the CompTIA CySA+ Certification Exam before the rest of us did. Also he would happily help anyone with a question with informative answers, whether it was explanations for Cybersecurity questions or about Labs that peers couldn't finish.
Ernest is a diligent student and hard worker who is passionate about Computer Engineering. As a member of the NSBE, he took advantage of the opportunity to learn outside the classroom as well as be an example to others. I strongly recommend Ernest in the areas of Information Technology and Project Management.
