Applied Mathematics | Network Security | Cryptography | Quantum Computing
Hi, I'm Vivian J. Goshashy
I hold a B.S. and M.S. in Applied Mathematics and specialize in cybersecurity. My math foundation gives me the analytical power to break down complex systems and design effective defenses against evolving digital threats.
My Approach
I don't just run security tools – I understand the math behind them. From modular arithmetic in RSA to linear algebra in quantum circuits, I build security solutions from first principles.
Education
2021 - 2023
Eastern Washington University
I completed a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics at Eastern Washington University, where I focused on advanced mathematical modeling, data analysis, and real-world problem solving. My thesis research centered on theoretical epidemiology, where I analyzed the dynamics of infectious disease spread using differential equations and stability analysis. Throughout the program, I developed strong analytical and programming skills using tools such as Python, R, and Mathematica, and applied mathematical theory to practical challenges in science, engineering, and public health.
2019 - 2021
Central Washington University
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from Central Washington University, where I developed a strong foundation in mathematical theory, computational methods, and data analysis. My coursework included calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, and numerical methods. During my studies, I also gained hands-on experience with programming in MATLAB and Python, preparing me to apply mathematical modeling and problem-solving skills in both academic and industry settings.
2025 - present
Bellevue College
The Bellevue College Cybersecurity program is building my foundation in theoretical and technical cybersecurity knowledge. I'm learning to monitor and maintain system security solutions, including legal, regulatory, and internal compliance. I can translate security policy into technical architectures. The program also prepares me for system administration tasks such as interoperation, automation, scripting, and system hardening. Through coursework in networking, cloud architecture, and security principles, I'm developing the skills needed for roles in cloud security, network defense, and security analysis.
