About Me



Over 25+ IT related classes taken


Started getting into computers at age 10


Currently seeking a full-time job opportunity



Greetings, dear visitor! My name is Dean Mysliwiec, and I am a recent graduate from Purdue Northwest University, proudly holding a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Technology with a concentration in cybersecurity. My journey with computers began at the young age of 10, igniting a passion for technology that has been growing ever since. I'm currently one of the Lead Student Network Administrators at my university, where I lead a team of students and manage the university's network.

When I'm not busy with work, I engage myself in various IT side projects, such as crafting websites and tinkering with my server/home lab equipment. Beyond the digital realm, you might find me repairing phones and computers, enjoying a round of golf, making music, or playing some video games.

Every day presents an opportunity for me to elevate my skills in the everchanging IT industry. I am eagerly exploring a full-time job opportunity to contribute my expertise. Proficient in networking technologies from previous work experience, I am versed in managing Cisco, Extreme, and Enterasys branded equipment— including CLI and physical management. However, my knowledge also extends to Cybersecurity, Database design, Computer programming, System administration, Desktop support, and IT sales — fueled by a foundation of prior sales experience and extended hardware knowledge.

For a more detailed overview of my skills and experience, feel free to download my resume. These are also listed in the other sections of this site. I'm open to connecting and discussing any potential opportunities or collaborations, and my contact information is present in the contact section. I am looking forward to engage in meaningful conversations with you!
