April 2026 — The Energetics Technology Center (ETC) is excited to welcome Phuong Nguyen to the ETC team as our new Junior Network Engineer!

Phuong joins us with a background in cybersecurity and a passion for hands-on learning and continuous improvement. In his role, he will support our network infrastructure through configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, while also implementing security controls. Phuong will also assist senior engineers with documentation and network support tasks.

What excites Phuong most about joining ETC is the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a collaborative environment. He’s eager to continue building his troubleshooting skills while learning from the team.

Phuong brings experience with Linux systems, network segmentation, and system hardening. During college, he completed three internships and worked on a variety of technical ventures, including home lab projects. “Those experiences let me learn in different environments and helped me build strong hands-on skills,” Phuong shared.

Outside of work, Phuong enjoys improving his personal home network lab, where he experiments with new technologies and configurations. He also participates in cybersecurity capture the flag competitions and builds custom computers.

Fun fact: Phuong’s favorite podcast is Darknet Diaries, a series about real-world cybersecurity stories involving hacking, exploitation, and investigations.

We’re thrilled to have Phuong on board and look forward to the impact he’ll make!
