Who am I?
Hey I am Gerald Hoon!
I am currently pursuing a cyber security diploma in Singapore Polytechnic.

Why did i choose to study cyber security?
Since young, I’ve always wanted to be a hacker. I imagined myself sitting behind a supercomputer, generating streams of code at rapid-fire speeds, bringing down entire networks and bypassing even the most advanced firewalls. As I moved beyond my youthful naiveté, I began searching for a career that would let me follow my passion whilst having good future career advancement prospects. I am greatly excited by some of the modules that Singapore Polytechnic Infocomm Security Management offers, especially Ethical Hacking And Defences in year two. Hence, I believe that this course would equip me with a strong foundation to become a white hat hacker – my eventual goal.
