// WHO AM I?
I'm Tyler Johnson — I'm a software engineer with a passion for game dev, programming education, and custom software. I've been writing code professionally for about 10 years, building everything from indie games in Unity to automation tools, full-stack web applications, and end-to-end solutions with networked microcontrollers. Born and raised in New Mexico, I enjoy learning all I can about new ways of approaching challenging problems and finding solutions! When I'm not sitting at the battlestation, I'm with my family (and our 6 animals), working on house projects and cars, or collecting/playing Magic the Gathering and Pokemon!

Small Business Automation Tools
I’ve done various automation tools for a local small business querying their system’s backend API and generating reports or file conversions. Other tools involve a file watcher for an SFTP directory that will automatically send emails based on new files to clients. Config files are updated from a web portal to fit the needs of […]
Home Network/Server Install
This is my personal home lab/business setup. I have my entire house wired for 10 gigabit Ethernet, two servers with services/virtual machines, and a Windows mini PC for when I need to use Windows tools. This setup is ever-evolving, with more recent changes being using GitLab runners on my home servers for automatic deployment/builds of […]

I’ve developed a few useful skills, especially after reading Clean Code by Uncle Bob Martin. The project at work was […]
