    Software Developer with 5 years of experience designing and developing software for full stack web applications in cloud environments. I enjoy working across the stack, angular to kubernetes, soup to nuts. My passion really comes out when using Kafka, Socket.IO, and RxJS and docker microservices to create real time streaming applications and data pipelines. However, I find joy in the simple things like building front end forms, using third party API's for business use cases, and visual front end design. My recent project was a reversal from the software development positions I was used to. I pivoted to platform engineering and DevOps between the customer delivery team and the engineering team for a few assignments at Cisco, for AT&T and T-Mobile. I managed multiple on-prem kubernetes environments for hosting a Network automation tool called BPA, for ATT and TMO. I have experienced challenges for a variety of problems across the stack, from a front end Angular application, to the API layer, the database, and even the platform infrastructure. each set of challenges gives me a new perspective of the domain and how it is essential for the entire application. Each area has it's challenges and it's considerations but rewards with a new understanding of the entire application and how everything fits together.

    I do all things data for startups and small companies. I can quickly combine data from multiple sources without expensive pipeline tools or brittle Excel spreadsheets. I know what data you need now to keep your operations running smoothly and make your investors happy. I write code when I need to but I use no-code and code-less integrations when I can. I stick to versatile, popular languages like Javascript and SQL so your developers can take over later. I can do everything data related from extraction and cleanup to analysis and visualization. My diverse background includes expertise in areas of finance, marketing, and technology.

    Hi, I’m Tyler — your hands‑on full‑stack problem‑solver and fractional CTO. For the past 10+ years I’ve turned raw ideas into reliable, scalable products. I’ve… • Connected a biomedical lab to the cloud at Noetik, building data pipelines that power AI‑driven cancer‑drug discovery. • Led platform engineering at FarmLogs, helping 10K+ farmers make smarter decisions with petabyte‑scale geospatial data. • Shipped critical services at Stedi and ThinkTopic, from high‑throughput APIs to production machine‑learning models. What that means for you: 🔧 Breadth that unblocks any project You name it, I've probably done it at some point... Cloud infrastructure (AWS & GCP), Kubernetes, Serverless, data engineering, LLM & ML ops, IoT, realtime back‑ends, React/TypeScript front‑ends, mobile, game engines, and more. And if I haven't done it before, great! Those are my favorite kinds of problems. 🏗️ Fractional CTO services • Architecture & codebase audits • Technical roadmaps & cost optimization • Team mentoring and hiring support • Hands‑on “get‑it‑done” coding when deadlines loom 🚀 Why clients keep me on speed‑dial • Generalist mindset, specialist depth — I can dive into firmware in the morning and ship a React frontend by lunch. • Business‑first thinking — every tech decision maps to revenue, runway, or risk. • Clear communication — exec‑friendly decks when you need strategy, GitHub PRs when you need code.
