Hello, World!

My name is Tyler Boyd

I am a software engineer from Kansas City. I have been breaking and fixing computers for my whole life, and have been developing professionally for almost 5 years now.

Almost all of my professional experience is with Full Stack Web Development, using HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Go. I have gained experience in several front end frameworks, including SvelteKit, Vue, and React. I have also had the great joy and honor of working with several different databases and backend languages, my favorite being the Postgres and Go combination.

I am constantly learning new technologies, frameworks, languages, and tools. It is my favorite part about this field, that there is always something new to learn, and something to get better at. I am trying to contribute more and more to the open source communities, as a way to learn and master new technologies.

Some things I'm really great at

• Creating modern web applications with SvelteKit, JavaScript, and CSS.
• Building backend applications, using MongoDB or Postgres for the database, and Go for the REST API.
• Building CLI tooling applications with Go.
• Learning new tech, and staying up to date with what is going on in tech.

Some things I have been learning

• HTMX - seems like a fun thing, became all the rage on twitter.
• Flutter - building a cross platform mobile app for a friend, it was a good time to try this out!

Some of my non-dev hobbies

• Video games, lots of Fallout 4 and Helldivers recently
• Dungeons and Dragons with the friends - Level 12 Paladin Druid
• Reading, trying to go through some fantasy classics, reading Wheel of Time right now
