Joseph A. Culp

Hi, my name is Joseph Culp

I am an early professional who loves technology, solving problems, and most of all learning.

I solve real world problems using technology and hard work

What matters most to me is being a well rounded engineer, so I am always on the lookout to grow and learn where I need to! Recently I have been studying IT Administration and Web Application Penetration Testing.

Portrait of Joseph Culp
Joseph A. Culp

I’m a career-ready Computer Science student excited to use my skills to bring value to the world. I’m passionate about people, technology, and making a difference. I thrive in environments where I can solve real problems for others.

Outside of tech, you’ll usually find me reading classic literature, rock climbing, or grabbing coffee with friends and coworkers!
