Hello World!
I'm Tyler McGue, a software engineer and problem-solver based in the Greater Los Angeles area. My journey into tech was unconventional—I hold a BA in History but quickly transitioned into software development through self-teaching and hands-on projects. This unique path allows me to approach problems with a fresh perspective, blending analytical thinking with curiosity-driven engineering.
Over the years, I've built and optimized 12+ web applications, automated workflows saving 80+ labor hours per project, and developed solutions that enhance efficiency by 20% or more. My technical expertise spans Python, C#, Django, React/Next.js, JavaScript, SQL, and more, enabling me to create scalable, high-performance applications.
Whether I'm designing applications that improve productivity, automating processes, or crafting dynamic user experiences, I thrive on tackling complex challenges with creative solutions.
When I'm not coding, I'm exploring emerging technologies, refining my skills, or spending time with family. Let's connect—I'd love to collaborate on exciting opportunities!
