Hello! My name is Tyler Beck.
I am a software developer, currently living in beautiful Ogden, Utah. I got my start in software development by attending two separate developer bootcamps. Since then, I have worked professionally as developer for five years. Two and half of those years were at CollegeNET in their web dev department and the other three years were at OldCastle Building Envelope as a software developer in their IT department. For more detail, feel free to check out my Linkedin.

As a professional, I believe hard work, honesty and continued education are paramount in ensuring any level of success. Furthermore, I believe that I have a responsibilty to keep learning and growing throughout my career so that I can always make a meaningful impact in any setting.

PROJECTS

Here's a list of things I've built for hobby, practice, and continued education over the years. They are listed below, more or less in the order that I completed them. Not only will it give you an idea of what I can do, It's fun for me to be able to look back and see the progress I've made.

Fast Filmography

A fun little game that challenges you to race against a timer and figure out which movie an actor has NOT appeared in. Built with .NET Blazor, the application consumes the TMDB api to provide actor and movie details, including images, in real time.

My goal was to showcase my abiltiy to consume an API and display information dynamically and interactively.

JazzMatch

This is a single page application built with HTML, CSS and vanilla Javascript. The goal was to create an interactive matching game with different difficulty modes, a running score tally and different messages displayed to the user depending on their score.

Feel free to give it a shot and see how well you know my favorite basketball team, the Utah Jazz!

Insurance Quote App

This is an ASP.NET MVC web application built with HTML, CSS, C# and SQL. The goal was to create an interactive application with full CRUD capability where a user could sign up, answer some questions and receive a mock bid for car insurance. I used entity framework for interacting with the database and bootstrap to handle the styling.

The site is not hosted anywhere at the moment but the code is on my github for those that would like to check it out.

Sound Cirlces

Here's an interesting project! This was actually part of a code along in a bootcamp but I just thought it was too cool to hide. In this project, I learned how to work with Javascript libraries and also about the canvas HTML tag. The site is a clone of a site called patatap and is pretty fun to play around with. Upon pressing any lettered key on your keyboard, a sound is played and an animation is displayed.

Feel free to give it a shot and see if you can come up with a cool song or two!

Pizza Order Calculator

This here is actually the very first portfolio worthy project I ever completed. It is a simple app that takes in some user input and calculates the total cost of a mock pizza deliver order. Built with plain old HTML, CSS and vanilla Javascript, this was the first application I built with any real substance and I'm still proud of it to this day.

Feel free to give it a shot and see what kind of combinations you can come up with!
