An open offer for students and life-long learners

A decades-long journey in IT. Now I want to help you start yours.

I'm Curt Cornum. The technology community has been very good to me, so I want to help future technologists launch their careers. This is a standing offer to students and life-long learners. No fees. No hidden agendas.

Just honest guidance from someone who likes to put technology to work.

Prerequisites: Insatiable curiosity. Tech optimist.

Who you'd be working with

Builder. Practitioner. Evangelist.

I'm an enterprise tech professional, most recently a Senior Solutions Architect working on large-scale secure networks. I'm also a United States Marine Corps veteran who worked on fighter jets aboard the USS Midway.

These days I also build network tools under NetPotent.com, experiment with agentic AI at TrucMunroc.ai, do random acts of kindness through StickmenUnited.org, and post candid tech-related videos on LinkedIn.

  • Decades in IT, many in leadership roles
  • U.S. Marine Corps veteran, USS Midway
  • Network, security, and unified communications systems architect
  • Builder behind NetPotent.com, TrucMunroc.ai, and StickmenUnited.org

What I can offer

Pick whatever offering sounds timely and useful. All offerings are free.

  • One-on-one mentoring

    A steady sounding board for students working out direction, skills, and their first real moves into the field.

  • Mock interviews

    Practice with someone who's sat on the hiring side of the table for decades, with feedback students can actually use.

  • Resume and LinkedIn profile reviews

    A practitioner's eye on how a student presents themselves. Not a checklist, a read on what messages land.

  • Virtual group chats and classroom visits

    Honest stories from a long career, plus a clear-eyed look at how AI is reshaping IT work and what skills matter the most.

Why this matters now

The AI conversation, told straight.

I care most about helping students navigate what AI is actually doing to entry-level IT: which doors are closing, which are opening, and how to add value while the ground is shifting.
