Who am I?

I’m Kyle Crockett, a CISSP‑certified engineer who builds secure, safety‑critical embedded solutions for the automotive world. Over the past eight years I’ve designed and hardened everything from CAN‑bus gateways and 100BASE‑T1 Ethernet adapters to prototype power‑train communication stacks, and I’ve led security compliance efforts for large‑scale platforms such as VA.gov (ATO & NIST RMF).

My work blends deep hardware expertise—using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers—with modern software practices (Go, Python, CI/CD, fuzzing, and DevSecOps). I’ve also contributed to open‑source projects like CANduino, authored a real‑time clustering thesis for automotive signal data, and built an iOS app for insulin‑dose measurement using computer‑vision techniques.

I hold a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering (Computer‑Engineering emphasis) from Northern Arizona University and a B.S. in Computer Science from CSU Channel Islands, plus certifications in CISSP, CompTIA CySA+ & PenTest, and ISO/SAE 21434.

Fluent in English and conversational German (B1), I spent a research stint at the HTW Dresden Electro‑Mobility Lab, where I reverse‑engineered CAN frames and built data‑acquisition hardware for electric‑vehicle studies.
