About Me

~/origin

Hey, I'm Kyler! I'm a Senior IT Operations Systems Analyst with four years of experience across different areas of IT. My journey started in help desk support and eventually led me into field services, systems administration, and infrastructure operations.

Throughout my career, I've developed a passion for cybersecurity, especially web application security. I enjoy understanding how things work, figuring out how they break, and learning how to make them more secure. Lately, I've been exploring web and AI vulnerabilities through PortSwigger's Web Security Academy.

Outside of the technical side, I enjoy meeting people who share the same curiosity about technology. I'm always open to collaborating, exchanging ideas, or just talking shop. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or X!

AI is reshaping this whole field fast, so a good chunk of my time goes into just keeping up — new tools, new attack surfaces, and new ways of building things.

I taught myself guitar about three years ago, and now I'm branching out into other instruments. I also tinker with homelab automation, and I'm currently building a desk robot with the personality of Rocky from Project Hail Mary. Write-up coming soon!
