Hi, I am Tyler. 

I started my technical journey as an independent Android programmer and car tuner back in 2016, where I had designed a couple basic mobile apps as well as dabbled in car computer tuning.  Around 2017, I had added DJing to my hobby list, and as a result, also had co-designed my first managed hosting WordPress site to host my contact information as well as portfolio.

More recently switched to a focus in Cybersecurity with a sub-passion in Automation in late 2023/early 2024 and have since re-built and self-secured my original branded website in addition to this current personal one. Originally rebuilt them via static HTML templates and have been working towards transitioning them back to WordPress for easier future blogging capabilities as well as overall general management. During this time, I have also participated in various cybersecurity Capture-The-Flag (CTF) events, pentesting exercises, and automation projects all of which are detailed here in the site portfolio.

 

Related to hobbies:

I started car tuning back in 2016 with my d16z single cam Honda Del Sol. After getting “the bug” and being able to see the changes essentially in real-time, I went all in with a 70mm turbo build for it. Got it up to 27 psi before the head studs stripped out of the block and had it rebuilt (with upgraded rods, pistons, studs, etc.) until the transmission blew during a 2nd to 3rd gear pull.

Due to factors at the time, I never was able to rebuild/complete that setup and had tuned various other Honda setups (more D series, B series, turbo/non-turbos, automatics, as well as nitrous setups) with the most recent tuning experience being on the VersaTuner platform for Mazdaspeeds (including the addition of unique variables like MAF and e85 tuning).

 

While DJing, have created over 600 hours of recorded music mixes, with the most recent handful of mixes posted on Mixcloud (Most recent mix in the embedded player below). Almost all of them were livestreamed on twitch.tv with a handful of recorded/non-recorded in person sets.

I started out mainly mixing “Ultra Miami” festival style, and eventually incorporating “story-telling” type mixes with Progressive/Uplifting/Vocal Trance over the years, with some of my top favorite mixes being these story-telling style mixes.

Leading up to the pandemic and shutdowns, I started straying away from DJing as much due to personal preferences involved with the “scene” as well as moving home locations not providing an ideal setup for enjoying livestreaming at home anymore. As of 2024, I will currently DJ occasionally, and am open to gigs by request.

 

For video editing, I started dabbling in short-form content creation (relating to cars) and long form (relating to self-hosted “masterclass” style content to help teach others to gain the knowledge I had easier/quicker than I did. Just before pandemic shutdowns, I had barely started video streaming live events with a unique mobile stream setup that basically offered backstage type content, DJ booth content, and interactivity with any live viewers posting in live chat. I had not ironed out the final touches of my offerings before shutdowns, of which I had mostly abandoned the project.

 

Relating to programming/automation, I have created a couple of Android mobile apps relating to Blackjack basic strategy training and the War card game.

Relating to programming/automation, I have created a couple of Android mobile apps relating to Blackjack basic strategy training and the War card game, as well as have turned a professional focus to the cybersecurity industry as of late 2023/early 2024 (focus in automation). The focus in automation is not traditional scripting, but mostly integrating product APIs together with no/low code services such as (and primarily) Tines. I mainly use my unique analytical thinking to create and design projects that help streamline and/or add convenience to repetitive or mundane with the overall goal to improve efficiency and increase performance.
