Summary
Tyler Peterson is a web development manager with 12 years of experience leading and mentoring teams to deliver polished web products at FamilySearch. He currently manages a 12-person web team and is accountable for development quality across multiple family-history applications, combining hands-on engineering roots with people-first leadership. His background spans full-stack and client work—from Java desktop clients and Flex front-ends to modern web architectures—giving him a pragmatic perspective on long-lived product evolution. Based in West Valley City, Utah, he has a history of building developer tooling and CI systems and occasionally freelanced, signaling a blend of institutional and entrepreneurial engineering experience. Uncommonly for a manager, he still draws on low-level scripting and system design experience (Perl, Python, C) when solving stubborn integration problems.
