OVERVIEW
My name is Wyatt Tenison. I am a born and raised Alaskan who learned to cope with the darkness of the north through a computer screen. My parents invested in my interest in computers from a young age; buying me my first programming book at 12 years old. It always seemed obvious I was going to work with computers, and, while that may not forever be the case, I'm here for it.
I have spent much of the last ten years (before COVID) studying games and systems architecture, with special emphasis on rendering systems. Today I am grinding to catch up on web development technologies and practices. This website is my first endeavor into the web space, and I have found it to be quite an enjoyable experience, especially when compared to the harsh nature of C development.
I currently work as a website admin for a company in Anchorage, AK, and am looking for further opportunities to grow my skills and to provide meaningful value to a team with passion and a clear direction.
As I am getting older I am realizing less is more, and I am trying to bring that mindset to how I code and design systems. At the end of the day, I hope to leave things better than when I arrived and to increase, even if just slightly, the quality of the human experience.

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Welcome to Feedback (Instructive / Critical)
So I may understand my environment, expectations, and resposibilities; in service of producing effective work and effecient communication.
Highly Organized and Punctual
I was raised with an expectation of orderliness and cleanliness, which I have embraced and invested much personal time into. If you're not early, you're not on time.
Strong Conflict Resolution Skills
Critical thinking and temperamental habits for dealing with dicult situations developed through many dicult life experiences. It's not about being right; it's about solving a problem.
Accustomed to Self-Education
I will read / watch / engage with whatever content necessary when given an end (internally motivated or otherwise); web development, this website, being my latest interest.
