About Me

I’m Eric Avalos — working toward security engineering.

Right now I’m focused on networking and Linux. Most of what I do is hands-on — building small setups,
testing configurations, and fixing what breaks.

The goal is to get a solid understanding of how systems actually behave before going deeper into security.

How I Work

Hands-On: I learn by building and testing, not just reading.

Proof of Work: Everything I do is documented through labs and projects here and on LinkedIn.

What I’m Working On

  • Networking: VLANs, routing, traffic flow
  • Linux: system basics, permissions, SSH
  • Security: core concepts and system hardening
  • Cloud: basic infrastructure and services

Direction

I’m building toward security engineering, focusing on systems, access control, and how to secure them properly.
