Welcome to the Grey Key Blog

Welcome to the official blog of Grey Key Studios — a space where I document my creative and technical projects across cybersecurity, music production, AI development, and indie game design.

This blog exists as both a living resume and a personal lab notebook. Here, you’ll find deep dives into what I’m working on, what I’m learning, what goes wrong (often), and how I solve it. Every post reflects real work that you can find in my GitHub repositories, complete with code, configs, screenshots, and lessons learned.

🎯 What This Blog Covers

This blog will cover three major areas:

🔐 Cybersecurity Projects

I’m currently studying for certifications and building projects to break into the field. These include:

  • SOC dashboards (like the Splunk syslog monitoring lab)
  • Threat detection labs
  • Log parsing scripts
  • Infrastructure as Code

🎵 Music & AI Experiments

Music is therapy and expression. I document:

  • Original songs (lyrics, production, video)
  • Music education tools built with AI
  • VST plugin development
  • Vocal cloning and Synthesizer V workflows

🎮 Game & App Development

I’m building creative tools and games like:

  • A Blaxploitation-inspired fighting game (Cooley’s Revenge)
  • Interactive audio apps
  • Browser-based learning tools for music & cyber concepts

🚧 Why I’m Doing This

Like many creators and career-changers, I’ve struggled to find the “right” way to showcase what I know. I’m not a traditional resume kind of person — I learn by doing. This blog lets me:

  • Document my process
  • Show my work
  • Improve my skills
  • Share what I learn

I’m not aiming to go viral. I’m aiming to get better, get noticed, and maybe help a few others on the way.

🧪 What’s Coming Up

Here’s a glimpse of upcoming blog posts:

  • ✅ Splunk Syslog Monitoring Lab (SOC-style dashboard on Kali Linux)
  • 🎛️ Building an AI Music Plugin with JUCE + Web Tech
  • 👊🏾 Designing Characters for a 70s-Style Fighting Game
  • 🔐 Threat Detection with Python & Docker

Each project will get its own dedicated post, with updates as I make progress.

Thanks for reading.
Let’s build.
