Elijah Kees
@elijahkees
Cybersecurity and networking technician who solves complex technical problems across IT, fiber, and electronic systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m an aviation veteran turned technical specialist, with experience across information technology, networking, cybersecurity, electronic hardware, low voltage wiring, and mechanical systems. I adapt quickly, solve complex technical problems, and deliver results in fast-paced environments—whether working independently or as part of a team.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity (Magna Cum Laude) and an Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology (Summa Cum Laude). I’ve built strong fundamentals that let me move confidently between security tooling, networking, and hands-on hardware work.
In my recent roles, I’ve installed and repaired fiber optic and coaxial internet infrastructure, and I’ve worked on residential single- and multi-unit wiring using ethernet, coaxial, and telephone lines. Earlier, I assessed, repaired, and refurbished computer parts and electronic hardware, and I collaborated with vendors to resolve advanced problems—while also achieving a cost-saving shipping solution. My background also includes U.S. Navy experience maintaining and repairing aircraft structures and hydraulic/pneumatic systems for a large fleet, strengthening my focus on safety, precision, and reliable execution.
