Summary
Tyler Dahl is a Senior Software Engineer at Apple with 11 years of hands-on experience spanning mobile development, computer graphics, and machine learning. A Cal Poly MS candidate researching augmented reality, he has a long history of building products—from leading iOS development for startups to shipping production features at Apple using ARKit, Vision, and CoreML. He began programming in middle school (self-taught Lua) and contributed to NASA/MIT ZERO Robotics on ISS SPHERES, demonstrating a taste for ambitious, real-world projects early on. Equally comfortable prototyping research ideas and delivering polished apps, Tyler combines a competitive hacker mindset (multiple hackathon/top-three finishes) with deep practical skills in Swift, Python, Java, and C. He’s driven by learning and improving systems that enhance user experiences, with interests in procedural content generation and game development that often inform his AR and graphics work.
