Hi! My name is Tyler Snelgrove. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. I currently live in Murray, Utah which is a suburb of SLC. I live with my wife, 4-year-old daughter and newborn son. Life is pretty hectic right now as we try to adjust our lives to the newborn but we are slowly getting there…. I hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently work a non-IT job. I work for the DOD as a Personnel and Pay Admin which is kind of like HR. I hope to get into the tech world soon through the cybersecurity sector. I’m not opposed to also getting into software development as that has been pretty interesting. I figured I’ll apply to both and whichever offers me a job first, that is what I’ll do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, my favorite listed projects are the AI Coder and the Website Security Research Project. AI Coder seems pretty interesting. It seems like AI is going to be a great tool in the real world and getting practice on how to use it would definitely help now and in the future. The Website Security Research Project also sounds fun. I don’t have much experience in trying to “hack” things but a good time to learn is now I guess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My first degree is from the University of Utah (I miss the PAC 12 already\ud83d\ude25) in Economics. The jobs I have had post-graduation have been fine but they weren’t really taking me where I wanted to be. I have a good friend who majored in CS at the U of U and has loved every job he has ever had. I have always been jealous of the work he does and his work environment. I thought all hope for me was lost in getting into his line of work as I already had a degree. Then, I stumbled on the OSU post-bacc CS subreddit right before Covid (yes it has taken me forever to finish) and decided to take the plunge. It’s been a rewarding journey but my family and I are glad it is almost over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a wife, kids, school, and a job so I don’t have much time for hobbies anymore. I love watching college football, soccer, and basketball. I cheer for all the local teams (besides BYU\ud83d\ude02 ) so my heart is broken often. I look forward to this class and the challenges that await. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
