About me
I am Jurn Wynants, born in 2004 and living in the Turnhout region. IT has interested me from a young age. In high school, I therefore chose to study IT & Networking, where I took my first steps into the world of technology and networks.
I am currently studying Applied Computer Science at Thomas More campus Geel. Thanks to this program, I have not only become technically stronger, but I have also further developed my problem-solving skills and adaptability. This allows me to function well both independently and in a team.
Looking ahead, I hope to work in a sector that combines security and AI. Both fields play an ever-growing role in our society, and I want to contribute by helping to make technology both safer and smarter.
Projects
Projects are a fun and important way of learning. Below you will find some of my projects.
Academic Focus
From August 2024 to January 2025, I completed a semester at Halmstad University, Sweden, to broaden my technical expertise in a world-class innovation hub.
- Advanced Networks & Security: Focused on protocols, security risks, and detection using Cisco Academy equipment.
- System Administration: Covered hardware units, OS installation, and daily administrative tasks for workstations.
- Ethical Contexts: Analyzed the relationship between technology and society, including ethical dilemmas surrounding AI.
Extracurricular
Living in a dorm with international students helped me develop intercultural competencies and independence.
Highlight: A trip to Lapland involving cross-country skiing and ice-water swimming—an unforgettable bonding experience.
During my 13-week internship at VanRoey Automation, I analyzed SASE and SSE solutions to modernize network security for distributed teams.
The Project: Netskope PoC
I developed a test environment in Microsoft Azure to simulate realistic business scenarios. Findings included:
- ZTNA Implementation: Successfully replaced VPNs with Netskope Private Access, maintaining full speed and stability.
- Data Protection: Used DLP rules to block sensitive document uploads and monitored Teams for profanity.
- Advanced Analytics: Configured dashboards to visualize security data across hundreds of parameters.
Tech Stack & Tools
Methodology: Documentation study, analytical reports (Gartner/Forrester), and a Weighted Ranking Method Model.
