Jake Pole - Cyber Security and Networking
I am a passionate Computer Science student with a strong development in Networking and Cyber Security, passionate about securing individuals and companies. I excel on the understanding of how different systems communicate, building secure environments and managing vulnerabilities. Building related projects to develop my skills and explore more into the landscape.
I am currently studying at the University of Plymouth, and currently in the final few weeks of my placement year working within the University of Plymouth's Information Security Team as an Enterprise Security Analyst. I will be finishing my studies in May 2026 and looking to further persue my career from there.

Skills
I have a massive passion for learning and Computer Science! I love learning new technologies and further developing my knowledge. In my Industry Experience, I have found that I have a strong understanding and knowledge of Microsoft Defender XDR. As well as this, I enjoy building networks and associated skills. I also enjoy Web Development and recently I have developed my learning of TypeScript, Next.js and TailwindCSS in creating this page.
During my Year in Industry, I learnt a lot in relation to ITIL and completed the ITIL v4 Foundation course and earned myself the Certification. This became a large part of my job as I specialised in incident response, and dealing with Incidents and Changes became a natural part of the job.
I also have developed my understanding of the Networking Principles, as I have hopes of continuing my learning and understanding to achieve my CCNA cerification.
