Hello, I’m Sean Tyson, a multi-skilled software developer with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and a Master’s in Data Science. I’ve professionally worked primarily with PHP but have experience with Python, Go and C#. I’m currently contracting after applying 10 years of programming experience to a health intelligence company, tackling tech debt and balancing high usage while maintaining high standards of engineering. I left Bluecrest to move back to the north of England to be with my family and I’m strengthening my system-level programming understanding by studying and contributing to projects with newer languages like Zig. I find this exploration helps my more abstract engineering skills and overall capability, even though Zig isn’t yet a senior skill for me.
