πŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Jared Young

πŸ’» Senior Operations Engineer @ ThreatSpike Labs
πŸ” Security-Focused IT | Automation | AI Systems
πŸŽ“ MS in Artificial Intelligence β€” Kent State University (Expected December 2026)


πŸš€ About Me

I work at the intersection of cybersecurity, operations engineering, automation, and applied AI.

My background combines hands-on IT operations, endpoint security, infrastructure support, documentation, and software engineering with a growing focus on AI-assisted systems and operational tooling. I enjoy taking high-variation technical problems from first report through resolution, then building automation and documentation that make the solution repeatable and scalable.

Most of my work centers around:

  • Security-focused IT operations
  • Endpoint hardening and remediation
  • Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Graph automation
  • Internal tooling and workflow improvement
  • AI-assisted operational systems
  • Technical documentation and training

I’m especially interested in how artificial intelligence can improve technical troubleshooting, evidence review, operational workflows, and human decision-making in cybersecurity and IT environments.
