A song is not a song until you sing it. A bell is not a bell until you ring it.
Power was not put in your hands to stay. Power isn't power until you give it away.

What are Tyler's Interest
Hobbies and Special Interest
Combat Sports Enthusiast
Trying various forms of martial artsThere have been many rewards gained since my venture in the training of various combat sports, and you don’t have to be a black belt to start enjoying them. It’s all yours for the taking the moment you step on the mat to train for the first time. Martial arts training would be a fun activity that many people would be a part of even if it didn’t have these awesome benefits. The wisdom gained, the people you meet, the lessons you learnt and the friends you keep are all but a few of the benefits gained since my never ending voyage in the orient of martial arts. These rewards are just icing on the cake.
That’s right; martial arts classes are a great way to meet new people. Why wouldn’t it be? The fact you are all passionate about martial arts gives you something in common with your training partners. That’s a solid foundation that friendships can be built upon.
Volunteering and Imparting Valuable Knowledge to Individuals
Manchester Parish Library Kids Summer School ProgramVolunteering for summer camps a valuable experience as it allows you to influence the future generation in a positive way. On the flip side you too can also gain valuable insight from your pupils for they possess a more modern and unique way of thinking which can increase your overall knowledge of problem solving. As the saying goes “you are never too old to learn”.
It’s given me the background information to know what it’s like to be a camp counsellor and work with kids and young adults. I hope to use that experience of volunteering as a crucial platform to build communication and networking relationship skills crucial for jobs in any field.
Seprod Foundation Video Game Design Ambassador
Seprod Foundation - UBISOFT Game Creators' Odyssey ProgramGaming has always been a huge influence on my life from an impressionable age. As a matter, of fact, my degree concentration (Computer Information Systems) stems from my interest in working at a major video gaming publishing company like Nintendo or even Ubisoft.
I especially appreciated how the course exhibits Ubisoft’s approach to game creation, in regards to how it is applied not only to their titles like Assassins Creed but that of other award-winning IPs such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, God of War, Resident Evil and so on. On completing the course and earning the title Seprod Foundation Video Game Design Ambassador, I was able to mentor other up and coming individuals who expressed the same interest in video game design.

Computer Hardware Analyser Defender (C.H.A.D.) Fall 2017
A security system both hardware and software enabled, that enables the user to secure their network smart devices from any external invasions such as botnet attacks.
During the planning stages of this project I came to realise the usefulness of such a tool in the digital age, one tool that I believe would help many in the future. Working on the project C.H.A.D was an interesting and active experience as it allowed for a chance for me to learn about the components and requirements which we decided on the final Draft. This team which I joined had a lot of ideas that we eagerly shared allowing for many insightful and fun discussions which we bonded of during the course of project’s development. As Helen Keller so profoundly put it "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Autipik, Autism Communication Software Fall 2017
This is a system that allows caregivers of individuals with autism to communicate more effectively with them by using audio-visual aids.
“Being a part of a team, is an excellent way of understanding yourself as well as grasping the humility of learning from others, while building ideas together to create a profound reality. It gives a greater understanding of the true meaning of teamwork, which speaks to my exact experience while working with the team on our Autipix project. This project allowed us the opportunity to experience something truly amazing, by integrating different ideas, and using different digital tools to create an app that was not just functional, but also meaningful and representational. It was a fun-filled learning experience for us, allowing us the opportunity to not only listen to each other but also respect each other’s opinions and input. According to Mattie Stepanek, “Unity is strength......when there is team work and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.””
