Hi, my name is Colin Saumure. Sin tantum modo ad indicia veteris memoriae virtute cognoscenda, curiosorum. Haec et tu ita posuisti, et verba vestra sunt. Idemne potest esse dies saepius, qui semel fuit? Ampulla enim sit necne sit, quis non iure optimo irrideatur, si laboret? Ego vero volo in virtute vim esse quam maximam. Serpere genere anguiculos, nare anaticulas, evolare merulas, cornibus uti videmus boves, nepas aculeis. Conferam tecum, quam cuique verso rem subicias; Si longus, levis. Neque enim disputari sine reprehensione nec cum iracundia aut pertinacia recte disputari disseretur inter.
Undergraduate at Purdue University
Cybersecurity
I started at Purdue as a Cybersecurity major, choosing this program based on the passions I found in high school through various cybersecurity competitions (CyberPatriot, NCL, PicoCTF, etc.) and meaningful computer science coursework. I decided to pick this program over CS because I disliked the idea of working a programming desk job every day for the rest of my life.
Network Engineering Technology (INET)
As a first-semester sophomore I found myself in two 300-level networking classes: Linux Administration (CNIT 340) and Network Engineering Fundamentals (CNIT 344). These courses pushed me in ways I didn’t expect, and I ended up becoming an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for CNIT 344 the following semester. In addition, I took Network Administration (CNIT 34220) in the spring, where I got to build a complex enterprise network environment with multiple core services.
By this point, I began to realize that my favorite courses in my program were all hands-on networking courses. I decided I wanted to push myself further in this direction, so I added a double major in Network Engineering Technology to my plan of study, which only added like three additional course requirements I wasn’t already fulfilling somehow.
Electrical Engineering Technology (EET)
In 2024, I reached a crossroads in my degree plan where I had taken nearly all the best courses my department had to offer, but with three semesters remaining I still wanted to learn more.
Somewhat on a whim, I decided to declare a minor in Electrical Engineering Technology. Since then, I’ve become significantly more familiar with electrical functions and have a better grasp of how computer hardware works.

In qua quid est boni praeter summam voluptatem, et eam sempiternam? Cur post Tarentum ad Archytam? Qua ex cognitione facilior facta est investigatio rerum occultissimarum. Negat enim tenuissimo victu, id est contemptissimis escis et potionibus, minorem voluptatem percipi quam rebus exquisitissimis ad epulandum. Non enim iam stirpis bonum quaeret, sed animalis. Qui autem esse poteris, nisi te amor ipse ceperit? Sic igitur in homine perfectio ista in eo potissimum, quod est optimum, id est in virtute, laudatur. An, partus ancillae sitne in fructu disseretur sine reprehensione iracundia.
In omni enim arte vel studio vel quavis scientia vel in ipsa virtute optimum quidque rarissimum est. Quod est, ut dixi, habere ea, quae secundum naturam sint, vel omnia vel plurima et maxima. Quodsi ipsam honestatem undique pertectam atque absolutam. Tecum optime, deinde etiam cum mediocri amico. Neque enim disputari sine pertectam reprehensione nec cum iracundia aut pertinacia recte disputari potest. An, partus ancillae sitne in fructu habendus, disseretur inter principes civitatis, P. Ut in geometria, prima si dederis, danda sunt omnia. Longum est enim ad omnia respondere, quae a te dicta sunt. Nam cui proposito sit conservatio sui, necesse est huic partes quoque sui caras suo genere laudabiles. Servari enim iustitia nisi a forti viro, nisi a sapiente nona civitatis.
Ego quoque, inquit, didicerim libentius si quid attuleris, quam te reprehenderim. Iam insipientes alios ita esse, ut nullo modo ad sapientiam possent pervenire, alios, qui possent, si id egissent, sapientiam consequi. Id quaeris, inquam, in quo, utrum respondero, verses te huc atque illuc necesse est. Sed quid ages tandem, si utilitas ab amicitia, ut fit saepe, defecerit? Sed isti ipsi, qui voluptate et dolore omnia metiuntur, nonne clamant sapienti plus semper adesse quod velit quam quod nolit? Quae quidem sapientes sequuntur duce natura tamquam videntes. Quod enim fitus dissolutum sit, id esse sine sensu, utilitas quod autem sine sensu sit, id nihil ad nos pertinere omnino. Idne consensisse de Calatino plurimas gentis arbitramur, primarium populi fuisse, quod praestantissimus fuisset in conficiendis voluptatibus? Utram tandem linguam nescio.
