About

Hi :) my name's Tyler. I'm a Data engineer currently living in San Diego, CA with 5+ years of related experience. I have a background in Machine Learning/AI, Fraud Detection & Digital Verification, Global Pricing Strategies, Digital Financial Markets and Satellite Communications.

Additionally, I am highly skilled in devoloping automated data pipelines, conducting quantitative analyses, building web frameworks and the implemenation of algorithmic strategies & data science.

I studied applied economics, business, statistics & finance at the University of California Santa Cruz where I recieved my Bachelor of Arts as well as my Master of Science. I also studied at the University of Sydney on exchange where I joined the business society and studied economics, computer science, business and marketing.

Outside of work I enjoy skating, surfing, snowboarding, hiking, traveling, agriculture, photography, working out, football & basketball, and spending time with my dogs Chip and Charleigh. (Use the arrows to see some pics!)

And yes, if you were wondering my favorite animals are Highland Cows.
