About | Alex Freel

Hello, I'm Alexander L. Freel

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with hands-on experience in cybersecurity, embedded systems, and software development. I recently completed an internship at Edelman Financial Engines where I worked on vulnerability management and system hardening.

I grew up in Northern Virginia and recently moved to Lewes, Delaware. When I'm not studying or coding, I enjoy working on personal projects and learning new technologies.

I'm passionate about building things - whether it's secure systems, embedded projects, or video games from scratch. I love solving problems and learning new technologies.
