Bio

Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m passionate about making the Internet more secure. I love the open web, democratization of content, and I believe in the incredible and transformative impact of open source software like WordPress.

I am the lead developer of the Conwell Quotes plugin. Conwell Quotes is a WordPress plugin used for offensive security and ethical hacking purposes. I also develop two other utilities that can be used in conjunction with WordPress: LogWatcher monitors log files and sends a text or email alert based on certain unexpected activity and WebWatcher monitors a website for any changes and then sends a text or email alert.

Conwell Quotes, LogWatcher, and WebWatcher are all free and open source and can be found on GitHub. (https://github.com/kylepott).

WordPress Origin Story

I first installed WordPress in 2005.
