Hello, I'm Tyler! With a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Engineering and over eight years of experience in the tech industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. I have worked on professional projects such as using Ruby to process x86 assembly instructions and using Python and React to show public transit arrival times. My experience across stacks and domains has led my passion to grow beyond just "getting code to work"; it's about unraveling the nuances of how software functions and exploring each layer of its construction.

Throughout my professional career, I've taken immense joy in mentoring fellow engineers. Not long ago, I helped a junior engineer migrate some data processing code from a React Native application to a Kotlin application. This not only solidified their understanding of frontend versus backend development, but also enhanced my skills in explaining technical concepts in an accessible way. I approach tutoring from a "First Principles" approach: if we can step back and understand the foundations underpinning each subject, we can dive into the details of a task or project with more confidence and resilience.

In addition to "First Principles," I commit to focus on you as a human first, and you as someone who hopes to complete a task second. Taking the time to understand your unique perspective and learning style is key to helping you achieve you goals.

I'm also excited to introduce a new guided Rust HTTP server project, which provides a deep dive into how an advanced library, similar to Axum, works under the hood. Over the course of five sessions here on Wyzant, you'll gain hands-on experience in building a performant HTTP server from scratch, learning key concepts in Rust and network programming along the way.

I invite you to contact me with any questions or to discuss your specific learning goals. Let's work together to build your understanding and confidence in software and computer engineering!

Computer Engineering

I have two degrees in Computer Engineering where I studied digital logic and computer architecture. I built a working processor in Verilog and my capstone project involved building a microcontroller image capture system for a small satellite. I also worked for nearly 3 years at AMD on microprocessor verification.

Learning Rust and Enjoying It

Tyler is patient, very knowledgeable and has great insights on the reason why things are done in a certain way. Rust is not the easiest language to learn and getting the fundamentals right is very important.

Unassuming, Knowledgeable, patient tutor

CS was the topic. Some concepts in assembly were difficult to understand. But Tyler went though them very patiently. His knowledge on the subject came through. At the end of the class, it all seemed to come together nicely. Tyler is truly a gifted tutor. Looking forward to the next class with him to further solidify the concepts.

Excellent Computer Programming Teacher

Tyler has been a huge help so far in my learning journey. He is a calm and patient guide that can help you through the sometimes confusing world of computer programming. I'm learning web development with Tyler, and we've worked together to develop a curriculum based on my interests and his areas of expertise. I feel lucky to have connected with him because I'm interested in learning Rust, and he has experience with that programming language. Our plan is to study Rust (for backend web development), React (for frontend web development), PostgreSQL (for a database), and Docker (for containerization). Tyler is a genuinely good person, and you can tell he cares about his students. He's a very patient teacher who makes learning difficult subject matter enjoyable. I've had fun taking classes with him so far, and I very much look forward to continuing my learning journey with him. I highly recommend Tyler as a teacher.

Great Start

He was good at not wasting my time so far. I know a bit to start and so we started right where I was ready to start and I felt like we got pretty far in the first go. Looking forward to next week!
