Ryder Tetreault
Software Engineer · AI · Cyber Defense
AI-native software, security-minded engineering. I build products where AI does real work, grounded in cybersecurity and infrastructure defense.
ABOUT
I'm a Computer Science & Software Engineering graduate from Auburn University with a Cyber Defense certificate, focused on integrating AI into the products I build. Most of my recent work has been bringing language models, semantic search, and AI-driven automation into real applications, from media archives that transcribe and tag themselves to analytics platforms that surface insight instead of just metrics. I treat AI as a first-class part of the toolchain: a collaborator I use daily to design and ship, and a layer I integrate into systems so they get smarter as they're used. My cybersecurity background grounds how I design and reason about every system I touch.
