Summary
Timothy Taylor is a multidisciplinary technician and creative technologist with 13 years of experience blending hands-on hardware restoration, front-end development, and design. As Arcade Repair Technician at Pinball Pete's, he built a role around preserving and troubleshooting classic and modern arcade machines while also handling retail operations and assistant-manager responsibilities. A Pomona College computer science graduate, he has applied technical problem solving in varied settings—from interim Unix system administration to curriculum design as a JET Program Assistant Language Teacher in rural Japan. He writes about games and Japanese culture, bringing storytelling and user-focused design into his technical work. Comfortable moving between soldering iron and UI mockup, he seeks roles at the intersection of engineering and creative craft. One less obvious strength is his knack for turning grassroots passions (like arcade preservation and anime journalism) into sustained, professional contributions across technical and customer-facing domains.
