Hello! I'm Tyler! πŸ‘‹

In my 5th year of a dual-degree program in Software Engineering and Business Administration at Ivey Business School, Western University. With a history of building applications and driving innovative solutions, I am deeply passionate about building borderless, internet-native commerce applications. I believe Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and decentralized payment technologies will improve how money works on a global scale.

πŸš€ Current Projects & Experience

  • Founder, CEO, and CTO of HotTakes Sports: A free-to-play fantasy sports game built in Flutter, aiming to simplify sports gaming for beginners. Successfully pitched and secured seed investment, led a team for sports data integration, and engineered a robust prize fulfillment system.

  • 2x Software Engineer Intern at Block (formerly Square): Enabled improvements in the company-wide feature flag infrastructure, facilitated custom inventory adjustment types, and significantly reduced API calls.

🌍 My Passion

I'm passionate about borderless commerce which has drawn me to technologies like Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. Check out my project on a decentralized paywall mechanism using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and the Bitcoin Lightning Network here.

πŸ† Accolades

  • 2x Winner of Hack Western 8 - Details on our project, ShelterFirst, can be found here.
  • RBC Scholarship in Software Engineering recipient for outstanding academic achievement.
  • MacKay-Lassonde Award in Computer Engineering for exemplary leadership and achievement.
