ABOUT
Computer Science Student
Hey there! I'm Egid Metalia, currently on a mission to save the digital world from hackers and code a few cool things along the way. When I'm not diving into cybersecurity at NYIT, you’ll probably find me playing around with AI, blockchain, or finding creative ways to break—then fix—things. Tech nerd by day, concierge by night, and always ready for the next big challenge.
