Tyler Moessing is a Computer Science student at Brigham Young University, graduating in April 2027 with an emphasis in Machine Learning and a minor in Statistics. With a 3.98 GPA and multiple academic scholarships, he has distinguished himself through strong coursework in data structures, linear algebra, and advanced software construction, with plans to complete specialized courses in machine learning, AI, and NLP.
Tyler's technical toolkit spans Python, C/C++, Java, and JavaScript, with practical experience in AWS deployment, Git, and MongoDB. He has applied these skills in diverse roles, including developing Alexa apps with over 10,000 users, fine-tuning YOLOv7 models for real-world vehicle detection at Spot Parking, building analytics pipelines for BYU Basketball, and maintaining web infrastructure at BYU Creative Works. His research at BYU led to a machine learning system classifying figure skating jumps, improving accuracy by 15% and earning him a presentation slot at an international conference in the Netherlands.
Beyond academics, Tyler has served as a tutor, code instructor, and youth counselor, reflecting his commitment to mentorship and service. He also volunteers as an officer in the Competitive Programming Club, where he helps organize coding competitions and supports peer learning. With projects ranging from battle bots to AI-driven sports analytics, Tyler thrives at the intersection of problem-solving, innovation, and teamwork. Driven, adaptable, and deeply curious, he is building a career that combines technical excellence with creativity and impact.
Creations
Jimmy in the House
Jimmy in the House gives you a daily shower thought. A high school project that brought daily smiles to 60 recipients through fun daily thoughts.
Jimmy in the House gives you a daily shower thought. In high school, Tyler created a Remind class called "Jimmy in the House" with 60 recipients who got fun thoughts every day. The name came from a fake identity he once used in a group chat with strangers — he called himself "Jimmy," and the name stuck.
His goal was simple: bring a smile to people each day. One recipient even told him, "You are a hoot." Hopefully, his "You Thought of the Day" messages brightened someone's day. The Reminds may have stopped, but this website carries on Jimmy's legacy.
DASH
DASH is Tyler's personal productivity dashboard. A clean, customizable interface for managing app shortcuts with drag-and-drop functionality.
DASH is Tyler's personal productivity dashboard. Built with vanilla JavaScript and modern CSS, DASH provides a clean, customizable interface for managing app shortcuts with drag-and-drop functionality. Tyler designed it to be his digital command center, combining organization with inspiration through rotating "fire quotes."
Tyler vibe coded this project, using AI assistance to bring his vision to life quickly. With 200+ app icons, local storage persistence, and responsive design, DASH is his solution to digital clutter. Sometimes the best way to build something is to just start coding and see where it takes you.
Currently Working On

It's his solution for applying software development methodologies to personal productivity.
Built with React, TypeScript, and modern web technologies, the project demonstrates Tyler's full-stack capabilities and his innovative approach to problem-solving. With data visualization, backup functionality, and multiple view modes, Life Scrub Board showcases his ability to create sophisticated applications that solve real-world problems.
Messed up Farm
Tyler is creating a top-down roguelike game in Python featuring farm animals as main characters. A hands-on coding project designed to strengthen problem-solving skills.
Tyler is creating a game in Python with one of his close friends. It will be a top-down roguelike game featuring a cow, a pig, and possibly a goat as the main characters. The two are choosing to code everything by hand rather than rely on vibe coding with AI, since they wanted the project to challenge them, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and help them truly learn the tools of development.
This hands-on approach means the project will take longer to finish, but it also makes the process itself valuable. Once completed, it promises to be a unique and entertaining gaming experience. The project will probably take 2 years because they are working in school and are busy with other things.
