"Cameron performed cybersecurity research for Connecticut College during his time as an undergrad. His interest in white hat hacking and his ability to find vulnerabilities was an asset to his research. He found several vulnerabilities in our systems by utilizing different tools to detect them while having zero impact on the college's network. His research provided the college with proof of concept of how threat actors could take advantage of some of our vulnerabilities. We were able to make mitigations based on his findings. Cameron is a thorough investigator who likes to understand problems and get to the bottom of a solution. He is easygoing and a joy to work with. I'd recommend him for any position."
