Parker McEachern

Cybersecurity-focused computer science student

About

I'm a cybersecurity-focused computer science student at Tennessee Tech (B.S. Computer Science, Cybersecurity concentration, expected May 2029), with a semester abroad at Chung-Ang University in Seoul. I hold the CompTIA Network+ certification and focus on red-team tooling and security operations.

I run a bare-metal Proxmox home lab with isolated Linux and Windows VMs, network segmentation, automated backups, and secure remote access — and I mentor fellow students in Tennessee Tech's CyberEagles club.
