About Me (he/him)
You can call me Tyler. I'm a full-stack developer with a focus on SaaS architecture and native Apple development. I started in this industry through self-learning and a nine-week intensive at Bitmaker Labs, which landed me my first startup job and led me through eight years at Postmedia — where I went from full-stack developer to managing a four-person data ingestion team and eventually owning digital technology programs.
In late 2025 I officially incorporated Juice Box Monkey Designs Inc. and went all-in on building products. I'm currently shipping Just Drop and the Just Apps portfolio for Mac and iOS, building File Crate, and taking on selective client work that involves modernizing legacy systems with modern web stacks and the Google Workspace ecosystem. I'm excited by companies building meaningful products and disruptive technologies, and I bring a dedicated, farm-raised work ethic to everything I build.
