Hi, there! I'm Tyler.

I'm a VP of Product for Hearst Magazines, an empathy-driven systems thinker building software applications for content creators and publishers.

What I Believe In

BUILDING TO EMPOWER.

I believe that happy makers make better. Everything I launch I do to make their lives better and make it easier to share their creative voice.

BrINGING TEAMS TOGETHER.

I think swarming together > hand-offs & silos. I love bringing disparate units of a business together to find harmony and efficiency in the ways they work.

CLEANING UP CLUTTER.

Efficiency soothes my soul. Few things make me feel better than launching something that cuts out extra work, both for a user and for the back-end.

Work I've Done

My journey is a winding one—starting from Journalism, working through Design & Web Development and landing in Product Management. Here's some highlights of my story so far. If you want to know in more detail, check out my full resume.

Real-Time Planning & Collaboration

I launched a new in-house content planning platform for The Wall Street Journal, uniting several workflows (done in several apps) across a global newsroom into a single platform using cutting-edge tech for real-time communication.

Content Creation

I have led requirements and development on an assortment of CMSes, including the primary publishing system at WSJ and its numerous Graphics Management Systems. Prior to that, I also spent several years as a freelance WordPress developer.

In-House Design System

To increase the speed and consistency with which Dow Jones' internal teams could build internal tooling, I helped found a new design system focused on UX patterns to build various kinds of utilities for content creators.

Search & Structured Data

Working with the CMS has also put me on the front lines with our tagging, content metadata, structured data and enhancements for WSJ.com search and its various API outputs. I also led a partnership between WSJ and Amazon to bring an internal tool to the global reading public for the 2020 Election utilizing custom taxonomies and NLP to turn millions of transcripts into a searchable database.
