My name is Blake Pecore. I am a 22 year old technology fanatic. My Journey into videogames started in 2006 when I was only 5 years old and my brother introduced me to Runescape. I became so interested in all sorts of technology and as I grew I started developing small Runescape Private Servers and taught myself Java through the process. Through some unfortuante run ins throughout my internet time I also grew fascinated in Cybersecurity and attended SUNY Canton and received my B.S of Cybersecurity with NSA CAE-CD Accreditation.

My passions have led me to a fulltime job as an Information Technology Support Technician for Citizen Advocates in which I handle a majority of our Azure cloud environment. I enjoy creating personal projects such as creating this website.
