Hello, I am ...

BJ Anderson

Welcome to BJ's Bytes

My website for all my work, interests, and projects.

I am a cybersecurity professional, problem solver, educator, podcast host, and technology adventurer with as a Computer Science and Business Intelligence & Analytics student at UT Dallas.

I thrive on a mix of building and breaking things; capturing flags as a regular CTF competitor, leading workshops for aspiring programmers, and supporting IT infrastructures that power autonomous technology. My motivation comes from tackling complex technical challenges, conducting self-guided research, and fostering creative solutions.

I have taught combinatorics, coding and game development to dozens of students, managed fleets of autonomous robots, co-created a podcast with over 30,000 views, and collaborated with diverse teams across business, technology, and education. I continually seek new knowledge, earning micro-credentials in areas like project management, cybersecurity, web development, and data science.

My academic and professional interests intersect with economics, psychology, cryptography, and beyond. Outside work, I’m an avid chess player, TTRPG game master, and reader, with a love for history, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

I currently work as a Cybersecurity Analyst Intern at Prudent Technologies & Consulting, where we have built a world class cybersecurity practice providing advisory-led continuous penetration testing. I have gotten to explore web development, penetration testing, security infrastructure, product development, and marketing.
