Hi, I'm Landon Byrge (also known as KaliPatriot). I'm a cybersecurity professional with a strong passion for offensive security and cybersecurity competitions. Over the past several years, I've led multiple teams to top‑three finishes at national‑level competitions, founded the CyberEagles Competition Club at Tennessee Tech, and trained dozens of students to excel in red teaming and blue teaming challenges. I am now heavily involved in the production of several national and international cybersecurity competitions, including CyberPatriot, Hivestorm, and eCitadel.

My expertise spans penetration testing, red team operations, and incident response, with a particular focus on Windows Active Directory exploitation. I also have advanced experience in systems administration and automation, managing Windows and Linux environments using tools like SaltStack, Terraform, and ESXi.
