I'm not not Tyler. I am a staff+ engineer with experience in building reliable and scalable backend systems.

I spend most of my time working across Go and Rust services and infrastructure, with a recent focus in financial platforms where correctness really matters.

On the side, I like to build small utilities and silly automations that make me happy

Go Raspberry Pi Bluesky

A Bluesky bot that posts the daily horoscope and game prediction for the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies are a Cancer (founded July 5, 1991), so the bot scrapes the daily Cancer horoscope and combines it with a weighted prediction model using team stats, pitcher matchups, and a dash of celestial influence. Built in Go and runs on a Raspberry Pi. See today's pick on the dashboard.

⚾ Rockies @ San Diego Padres 🕐 6:40 PM MDT at Petco Park 🪖 Ryan Feltner (4.32 ERA, 1-0) 📊 6-8 | vs SD: 0-2 | L2 🔮 A slight celestial nudge toward a Rockies defeat (63%)

Python IoT Computer Vision

Over the summer of my first internship, I integrated facial recognition into a distributed IoT platform. This led to a couple of applications including an interface-free coffee counter and a self-targeting dart gun!

Raspberry Pi Python Hardware

To keep my desk plant from dying I automated its watering using a Raspberry Pi, hobby pump, and a soil moisture sensor. This project was featured on the front page of hackster.io.
