Hey there! You found my secret page! If you like the look of this website, and want some help with yours, don't hesitate to reach out!
I am Tyler J. Kenney, a technology specialist and enthusiast. I hold a bachelors degree in Computer Science from Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, with a minor in Mathematics. I've worked in the public sector since I was 16, but have held jobs in software development in the private sector as well. When working on a website, policy, procedure, or any piece of software or technology, I prioritize performance and maintainability. I believe that modern website development (and software development for that matter) has become bloated and over-aethetic. Often you will see simple, albeit less aethetically pleasing applications or websites replaced with a gilded behemoth that kills performance just so you can center a div. I would rather have a website look old or rough-and-ready as long as it works when I ask it to do something. I do not believe aethetics and performance are mutually exclusive, though. I think there has simply been a lack of care and respect for software and website development that has seen abstraction eclipse skill. I try to put my skills to work to fight this carelessness in my job with the North Carolina Department of Revenue, and with the personal projects I do for me, my friends, or family. Anyone can create a website now-a-days, but only a handful can make it performant, aethetically pleasing, and maintainable.
