Hello, I'm Tyler

About

I’m Tyler Sands, a front-end developer and digital creator passionate about building clean, engaging experiences for the web.

I work with modern JavaScript frameworks, PHP development, SCSS for styling, and love experimenting with animations and interactive UI elements.

When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me with my daughters, experimenting with new design tools, or trying to keep my cat, Tigger, out of the kitchen bin.

Skills & Experience

With years of experience in web development, I create responsive, accessible websites that balance clean design with strong functionality. I’ve worked on everything from small personal sites to complex, high-traffic platforms, always aiming for performance, usability, and visual impact.

My skills include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and WordPress, with a focus on writing clean, maintainable code. I enjoy working closely with designers to bring ideas to life, ensuring every project meets both technical and creative goals.

I’m always exploring new tools, frameworks, and best practices to stay ahead in a fast-moving industry. This curiosity helps me find modern, efficient solutions without adding unnecessary complexity.

Above all, I value creating websites that genuinely help people — whether that’s making a business more visible, improving a customer’s online experience, or simply bringing an idea into reality.
