About Me
Hi, I'm Austin Sternberg 👋. I'm a Computer Science student at Kent State and am passionate for cybersecurity and networking. I currently serve as the Events Coordinator at HacKSU, where I manage large events like our Hackathon, Kent Hack Enough. In my free time, I've been working on a handful of personal project, mostly revolving around web development, though the python INFOSEC repository is a personal favorite of mine. Outside of CS, I enjoy combat robotics, where I am currently serving as the President of Kent State's Combat Robotics club. I'm always working on something or learning new skills. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect!
