About Me

Hi, I’m Dylan Cheek — a senior computer science student at Southern New Hampshire University with a background in business and six years in the automotive industry, where I worked my way up to Finance Manager. I left the auto industry not only to pursue my passion for technology and software development, but to leverage my skills as a fluent business communicator in an effort to bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders.

These days, I’m focused on software engineering, cybersecurity, and embedded systems. I enjoy building practical, user-friendly, and secure solutions — from database-driven web apps and embedded device projects to AI experiments. I recently trained my own large language model using open-source tools and datasets, which was a fun challenge that reinforced my understanding of machine learning workflows and data preprocessing.

My goal is to combine technical expertise with real-world business experience to help teams build systems that solve problems and make an impact.
