I am a senior at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California set to graduate in December 2013 with a major in Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies. My concentrations are Computer Science and Humanities, and my goal is to enter the technology and design industry with a career in UX, IXD, or UI. I aim to combine my education and experience to connect people, communities, and brands.

In my short career I have had the opportunity to be a Family Room Specialist and Genius Admin at Apple Retail as well as an Engineering Intern with Sacramento Suburban Water District. I also spent a short time learning and working with The Cutting Room Studio in New York City. Along the way I have picked up critical skills in Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, various programming languages (primarily C and Java with some Python, HTML, and CSS), and familiarity with Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux environments.

I am always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. You can contact me via email at tyler.durkin@gmail.com and download my full resume here.
