Hi there! My name is Tanner Dolby. I'm a Software Engineer and Mathematician based out of California. My academic background is in Applied Mathematics and I received my degree from ASU. I like working with JavaScript, Python, Node.js, React, 11ty, HTML, and CSS. I'm interested in applying my skills to build performant software and help others. I enjoy contributing to open source projects on GitHub and building fun side projects.

Interests
I like to go running, skateboarding, and enjoy the outdoors. I enjoy reading books and learning new things. When I'm not doing something outside, I spend most of my time reading, contributing to open source projects on GitHub, playing Chess, and making fun experiments on CodePen. I've taken an interest in Static Site Generators (SSG). In particular Eleventy, which this website is built with.
Books
Whether I'm reading for fun or to learn something new, it brings me a lot of happiness because there's always a new story I can dive into. Lately, I've been into fantasy, adventure, and sci-fi books, but I'm always open to book recommendations of any genre!

- The Outside by Ada Hoffman

Education
I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from Arizona State University on May 11, 2020.
During my time at ASU, I worked as an Undergraduate Researcher and Supplemental Instruction leader for Differential Equations. My passion for mathematics and computing became most apparent to me after completing discrete math and linear algebra. At the moment, I don't have plans for attending grad school but I'm interested in pursuing a graduate degree in Computer Science at some point.
