About Me

I'm Tylor, a software engineer focused on Industry 4.0, systems design, and building robust software that connects physical operations with digital intelligence.

My career has been defined by a deep dive into industrial automation, control systems, and real-time data processing. I enjoy taking fragmented production environments and turning them into cohesive, observable, and intelligent systems.

For personal background, I took distant-learning courses from grade 6 onward so I could focus heavily on programming and computers. I was also deeply involved in the Royal Canadian Cadet program, starting in sea cadets and later transitioning to army cadets. That experience was foundational for my growth as both a teammate and a leader.

What I Do

Design and build AI-enhanced observability and production management systems for modern manufacturing
Integrate complex protocols and systems (OPC-UA, MQTT, proprietary PLCs, ERPs)
Develop full-stack solutions from embedded firmware to cloud dashboards
Obsess over observability, reliability, and performance
Mentor teams and champion modern software practices in traditional industries

Tech Stack

I primarily work with .NET ecosystems (C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor), and I am comfortable across embedded systems, cloud platforms, databases, and modern frontend frameworks.

Home Lab & Interests

When I am not building productions systems, I am usually experimenting in my home lab:

Hypervisors (Proxmox, XCP-NG)
Self-hosted services (NAS, containers, monitoring)
Network automation and edge computing
Home automation

I am also interested in:

Machine learning and AI applications in industrial settings
Open-source contributions
Getting out into nature by camping, hiking, and kayaking
