Hi, I'm Tyler

I'm an IT professional transitioning from a long career in hospitality into cybersecurity and cloud engineering. The parts of hospitality I loved most — solving problems under pressure, helping people, staying adaptable, and learning constantly — are the same strengths that now drive my work in technology.

What I'm Working On

I'm building a strong foundation across:

  • Cybersecurity fundamentals
  • AWS Cloud Practitioner
  • Azure administration
  • Detection engineering
  • Incident response
  • Penetration testing basics

As I learn more, I want to grow into cloud environments and eventually become a cloud engineer or cloud architect. I’m committed to continuous learning, and every project I take on is another step toward that goal.

Why This Field Matters to Me

Cybersecurity and cloud engineering reward curiosity, discipline, and the ability to think clearly under pressure. These qualities shaped my hospitality career, and now they shape my path in tech. I enjoy understanding how systems work, how they break, and how to protect them.

Outside of Tech

When I’m not studying or building projects, I stay active. I enjoy training for triathlons, hiking, and spending time outdoors with my dog. Fitness keeps me focused, grounded, and disciplined — qualities that carry directly into my work and learning.

Featured Projects

A few of the projects I’m most proud of:

  • Incident Triage Investigation – End-to-end SOC-style investigation with log analysis, OSINT, and MITRE mapping
  • Detection Engineering (Sysmon + Wazuh) – Telemetry tuning, noise reduction, and alert fidelity improvements
  • Penetration Testing Lab – Reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, and reporting workflow

These projects are pinned below.
