about
Hello! I'm Caleb Greene, a high school senior at Moravian Academy, with an unwavering passion for cybersecurity and programming. Ever since I first got my hands on a computer, I've been fascinated by its complexities and behind-the-scenes operations. I wanted to learn how people could communicate with computers, manipulating them to carry out any specific task they asked for. I was also intrigued by how computers can be used not only to create things, but also to destroy things they themselves created. This duality between creation and destruction is what drew me to the field of cybersecurity.
My journey began in middle school with independent study and research. I taught myself Python before entering high school, allowing me to test out of my school's Programming I class and complete Programming II, all in my freshman year. I continued to hone and develop my skills independently during my sophomore year by learning to use and program a Raspberry Pi, as well as learning Java. In my junior year, I took AP Computer Science A, allowing me to put my Java programming skills to use, and develop them even further. I also discovered my passion for Cybersecurity during this year, leading me to begin an independent study on vulnerabilities, reverse engineering, and Linux. Now, in my senior year, I'm on track to complete every computer science/programming course my school has to offer, all while continuing my independent study of cybersecurity and creating my own projects that I share online.
Aside from technology, I also have a strong passion for music and sports. I play the drums, piano, and bass guitar, with the drums being my main instrument. As of now, I actively play in my school's jazz band and wind ensemble. Jazz is by far the genre I'm most passionate about; outside of school, I've played the drums in countless fun jam sessions and some paid gigs, both with many different musicians from all across Pennsylvania. I have also had the honor of being selected to tour with a jazz band playing in 6 different countries in Europe. This was an amazing experience for me, both musically and culturally, allowing me to experience entirely different cultures and explore a wide variety of amazing cuisines. Regarding sports, in my Freshman and sophomore years, I played for my school's Varsity basketball team, transitioning to play Varsity Volleyball my Junior and now Senior year. Along with playing Varsity Volleyball in school, I picked up club volleyball alongside it, allowing me to connect with many more people in the volleyball community. I have made many new friends and connections through sports and developed valuable teamwork and team-building skills during my time playing.
