Jacob Yeo
@jacobyeo
I strengthen systems through vulnerability assessment, threat detection, and practical IT security support.
What I'm looking for
I'm building cybersecurity experience through vulnerability assessments, incident response, threat detection, and hands-on security labs at Virginia Tech.
At ForgeWell Digital, I resolved CRM access issues, reviewed login activity for configuration errors and suspicious attempts, and documented account recovery procedures. I also promoted multi-factor authentication to reduce recurring support requests and speed up employee recovery.
As a self-employed eCommerce founder, I designed, branded, and launched a full website that generated approximately $1,000 in first-month sales. I hardened the site with a custom robots.txt file, optimized SEO and ad performance through sales and user-data analysis, and ran campaigns across Meta platforms, TikTok, and Threads.
I apply Python, SQL, Bash, and Linux to simulate attacks and strengthen systems, while staying active in Virginia Tech's Cybersecurity, Entrepreneurship, and BIT clubs.
