I build
I parachute into messy, undefined problems, figure out what to build, and build it. I've done that for mining giants, federal researchers, and big tech's developer programs. These days my own farm runs on software I wrote.
Hi, I'm Tyler

I've been a full-stack engineer for over 15 years. I started in mining software, spent a few years building developer courses for Google, Meta, and Microsoft, and ran an AI-powered market garden. Now I build AI-powered applications.
My favorite part of any project is the beginning, when nobody's sure what to build yet. I've figured that part out for mine operators, federal researchers, and executives, then stayed to build the thing.
Working with machine learning since 2018.
I got into machine learning and AI back in 2018, in the heyday of gradient boosting and the deep learning craze. I cleaned the data, trained the models, and even published a couple of papers. I don't just build with these tools, I know how they work under the hood.

Crop Planning App
Crop planning software that runs Blue Glass Farm's whole season. Drag plantings around a Gantt chart, reconcile the plan against what actually happened in the field, and use it offline from the field. Migrated by agents from five years of spreadsheet logic.

Where I've worked
Mining technology
A decade of data systems for operations like Rio Tinto's Kennecott and Newmont: dashboards, pipelines, simulation, and published ML research.
See the mining work →Software & data
Full-stack web apps, data platforms, and the occasional physics engine. Front end to database, design to deploy.
See the software →Developer education
Course content for Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Udacity: from technical specs and sample apps to on-camera delivery.
See the education work →Farming
Five years running a real half-acre farm on software and AI I built: planning, marketing, content, and sales.
See the farm systems →AI
Building with machine learning since 2018: peer-reviewed safety research, and lately AI systems that run a real business end to end.

Have an ambiguous, high-leverage problem and need one person who'll figure out what to build and then make it real? That's the whole job description I want.
