NAME
tyler — staff+ software engineer
SYNOPSIS
tyler [--go --rust] --backends --infra
DESCRIPTION
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 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.
git log --oneline
A self-hosted, hyperlocal weather station. A solar-powered ESP32 sensor node samples temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, rain, UV and lightning, then publishes over MQTT to a Raspberry Pi. A single Go service ingests the readings into SQLite and serves an earth-toned dashboard whose palette shifts with the time of day — overlaying a keyless forecast (Open-Meteo / NWS) on every chart.
A CLI tool that provides semantic code search for AI agents. Taps through your codebase to find exactly where things live.
cargo install wdpkr
A custom, self-hosted blog backed by my Obsidian vault. Posts live as markdown folders that sync to S3, and a Go service on a Raspberry Pi watches for changes via fsnotify and renders posts on-demand with in-memory HTML caching.

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.

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!
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.
