About Me
Mason Bair

I'm Mason, a passionate Computer Science student at Kent State University (graduating May 2026) with a love for DevSecOps, software development, system administration, and cybersecurity. I recently completed a year studying abroad at Tartu University in Estonia, which was an incredible experience that broadened my perspective on technology and culture.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me baking fresh breads, going for runs, hiking trails, or planning my next adventure. I've been fortunate to travel to 21 different countries, each offering unique insights and inspiration. As President of HacKSU (Kent State's largest CS club) and a Choose Ohio First scholarship recipient, I'm deeply committed to fostering community and helping others grow in tech.

I'm a joyful and heartfelt person who believes technology should make the world better. Whether I'm developing CI/CD pipelines, containerizing applications with Docker, or working on cybersecurity solutions, I bring enthusiasm and dedication to every project.
