Hulu

[My job] allowed me to learn a lot of valuable skills that I can now pass on to anyone else trying to make it up through a nontraditional way.

About Anthony

As a huge gamer, I started trying to hack video games to give myself health or money boosts.
I ended up finding forums of others who were also trying to hack into those video games—I learned a lot about the techniques people were using to break into machines and compromise systems.
During my senior year of high school, I participated in a dual enrollment program and took classes in subjects like anti-hacking to solidify my skills.
After high school, I was accepted into the Year Up workforce development program where I developed hard skills in information security as well as soft skills needed for the workforce in general.
Year Up also helped me get an internship in information security with Hulu.
After my internship, Hulu kept me on as a security analyst.
I’m also currently working toward my associate degree in information security to bolster my skills.
