Software engineer | CS @ SNHU 2025 | Ex-finance manager bridging product and engineering
Learn MoreHi, I'm Dylan Cheek - a software engineer with a business background and six years in automotive finance. I bridge product, engineering, and stakeholders to ship reliable systems.
I focus on secure software engineering and embedded/IoT. Recent work spans a Java + SQLite inventory app, a MEAN travel booking platform with REST APIs, and a Raspberry Pi thermostat built with C++/Python and secure coding practices. I've also trained a small LLM with open-source tooling, strengthening my ML and data preprocessing chops.
My goal is to pair technical depth with clear communication so teams can deliver secure, practical products that solve real problems.

An IoT thermostat developed on Raspberry Pi using C++ and Python. Integrates an AHT20 temperature sensor with custom heating/cooling logic. Emphasized secure coding practices to prevent overflow errors, improve reliability, and ensure safe hardware interactions.
View on GitHubWeb presence for a Corpus Christi industrial tag maker
Designed and built a responsive site for a business producing industrial tags for corporate clients across energy and manufacturing. Highlights materials (stainless, brass, plastics), engraving/printing options, barcodes/serialization, and a lead-capture CTA for quotes. Focused on clear service tiers, fast load, and mobile-friendly contact paths for procurement teams.

Targeting modern BB builds with a random force-sensitivity seed reminiscent of SWGalaxies, OT-aligned factions, and unique sabers/armor itemization. Planned Jedi training unlocks via faction rep, tiered ability points, and crises like Imperial Crackdown or Cartel War to pressure a ~250-day campaign. Focus areas: world gen, AI/encounter tables, loot/economy, and event chains.
