About

I'm Graham McIntire (W5ISP), a site reliability and security engineer based in Blue Ridge, Texas.

I grew up learning BASIC on a TI-99/4A and tinkering with Z80 computers. I've been taking things apart and figuring out how they work ever since.

I build and secure cloud infrastructure and applications, with hands-on experience in SOC2/HIPAA compliance, vulnerability management, and full-stack observability. I run my own Kubernetes cluster and WISP, and I'm happiest when I'm making systems more reliable and harder to break into.

I've been a licensed amateur radio operator since 1996 (General class) and enjoy building tools and hardware for the ham radio community.
