Fieldnotes
About

Hello, I'm Tyrel.

Software developer, storm chaser, recovering social-media casualty. This page is where I trade the timeline for something a little slower.

I'm Tyrel. An experienced software developer writing in public about my thoughts and ideas. Currently breaking free from the grip of social media and the parasitic effects it has across other aspects of life. I'm a storm enthusiast, so if these notes stop appearing, don't come looking for me — I'm riding on a storm cloud.

You can expect fleeting thoughts and fleshed-out ideas. Fieldnotes is my thought-sharing medium: ideas in-flight, ideas shut down too early, and ideas taken to the Nth degree.

I hope you enjoy my slice of the internet, carved out with thoughts on the weather, programming concepts, and red-lining my self-discipline trying to avoid another pizza.
