Hi there! My name is Tanner Dolby. I'm a Software Engineer with a background in Applied Math. I like working with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Node.js, React, Next.js, Python, and Java. I'm interested in building performant systems and helping others through software. I enjoy being creative, contributing to open source projects on GitHub, and learning new things.

I like reading books, mountain biking, running, skateboarding, playing golf, and finding the best coffee shops. I enjoy learning new things and I'm always tinkering on some sort of project. When I'm not doing something outside, I spend most of my time reading, contributing to open source projects on GitHub, playing Chess, and making fun experiments on CodePen.
I've taken an interest in Static Site Generators (SSGs), specifically Eleventy, which this website is built with.
Whether I'm reading for fun or to learn something new, it brings me a lot of happiness because there's always a new story I can become immersed in. Lately, I've been into fantasy, adventure, and sci-fi books, but I'm always open to book recommendations of any genre!

I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from Arizona State University on May 11, 2020.
During my time at ASU, I worked in the Academic Success Center as a Supplemental Instruction leader for Differential Equations. I also worked as an Undergraduate Researcher in a lab focusing on dynamic systems with applications in life and social science. I've always been intrigued by numbers and how systems work.
