Hi! 👋 I'm Tyler. Yes, this is a pretty spare website - I love the simplicity of the leinigen site, and... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but also if I can't stop myself from buying domains I may as well have 40 personal web sites. I also opt for minimalist simplicity almost everywhere else too, if you were wondering. My desk is a mess though. So here's a 'bio', and then some very random thoughts.
I'm a software engineer in SLC, working with some amazing folks scattered in the US, Germany, and Spain(and beyond). Previously, I worked in the Biomedical Informatics Dept. at the University of Utah, in the before-chatgpt times. I do enjoy copilot though.
The code for this site is here, but I'd argue most of the interesting stuff is in the nginx configuration. Unless you're into brutally minimal lein projects created by people who know very little about Clojure. But if you are, right on! let's hang out.
My son and I are having a **really** good time watching the Utah Hockey Club's first season, and it's reminding me of all the times my dad took me to see the fledgling Florida Panthers. It's not lost on me what a treat it is to be able to spend time with him doing something we both love. He has started to play goalie - I'd prefer he continues playing defense(!) - but he's working so hard at it and he loves it. But goalies are weird!
Code-wise, I'm working on my Ts chops, so I'm tinkering on this fan dashboard, based on the NHL's recently updated API. It's a small app but I had just about finished making it completely type-safe and then the NHL shut that API down and replaced it with a completely different API. Cheers to them! 🍻
