Simple solutions for the most complex cybersecurity problems.
// 01 — about
Tiny Dragon Solutions has been around for over 15 years, born in California with a straightforward idea: everyday people deserve real security, not just enterprise-grade jargon. It started as a home security services business — installing cameras, configuring network firewalls, and helping regular folks protect what mattered to them.
"Security isn't just for the enterprise."
Running a one-person shop in that space is a tough way to make a living. The business wound down, but the domain — and the mission — stuck around. Now based in Florida, Tiny Dragon Solutions has evolved into something more fitting: a home for side projects, experiments, and straight-talk content built squarely around cybersecurity for the average person.
No corporate agenda. No vendor spin. Just useful stuff, built by someone who's been doing this long enough to know what actually matters.

An old school dungeon crawl game used as a sandbox for learning and testing different AI features. Each mechanic is a new experiment — from procedural generation to AI-driven narrative — making it a living lab for what AI can do in game development.
An enterprise grade lab that can be built in anyone's spare closet using free or cheap tools. You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert to play like one.

A PERL front end to an Open-RSA backend to generate certificates. Several organizations who did not want to pay for / build their own CA's used this. While this was one of my tools that kept me employed for years I am glad to not have to maintain it anymore.
