DOCUMENTING THE JOURNEY.
I’m Eric Gingras, an Air Force cyber and communications professional focused on cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and network operations.
About
Building a Career in Cloud and Cybersecurity
From the moment I joined the U.S. Air Force, I knew I wanted to build a career in technology. What started as an interest in cybersecurity quickly grew into a passion for understanding how modern systems, networks, and cloud platforms work together. Today, I work in communications and cyber operations while pursuing a degree in cybersecurity and continuously expanding my knowledge through certifications, hands-on projects, and real-world experience.
My journey has led me through networking, systems administration, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies. Along the way, I earned certifications including Security+, SSCP, and CISSP Associate status, and I am currently pursuing my CCNA while continuing to develop my skills in AWS and Microsoft Azure. Through both military experience and academic projects, I have gained hands-on experience with cloud architecture, network design, security principles, troubleshooting, and technology operations.
