Gavin Wyant

About

I'm an incoming M.S. student at Carnegie Mellon's Information Networking Institute, joining the program in Fall 2026. Until then I'm a cybersecurity intern at Motorola Solutions.

I completed my B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Pittsburgh in December 2025.

Outside of work I spend most of my time on capture-the-flag competitions and going deeper into applied cryptography, reverse engineering, and web exploitation. The projects on this site come out of that — a packet sniffer that turned into a Linux firewall, a fork of nano with autocomplete, and a few smaller things I haven't published yet.
