Hi! My name is
Tyler Pham
I am a QA Engineer based in Vancouver, BC who I graduated from Simon Fraser University in 2019. My main focus is automation, front-end and accessibility testing.
When I am not programming, I enjoy bouldering. I use my bouldering time more as a meditative time where I focus on problems and listen to podcasts (Reply All, Talking Simpsons, Ologies are some of my favorites). Other than that I love embarassing my cat and sharing silly photos.
