RSS FeedHi, I'm Kalyan Cheerla (kc, kite, gh0st), a software engineer, AI tinkerer, security enthusiast, homelab builder, and researcher. Many names, many interests but always curious at heart ❤️.
Welcome to my digital garden 🌱, a place where I share thoughts, tools, and experiments across AI, security, homelabing, automations, and more. I write about anything that inspires me and everything that transpires through my explorations of building and breaking stuff 🛠️.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm always open to new opportunities and collaborations. Peek at my resume below alongside my socials, or dive into the recent posts 👇.
