About me
Built by hand, from the first sketch to the finished product.
BuiltByTyler is a studio by Tyler Wade, a 23-year-old engineer showcasing mechanical and software projects.
Mechanical
Mechanical design backed by real analysis — fatigue and flow simulation and full assembly testing, iterated until every part holds up.
Software
I also build the software side — engineering GUIs, agent workflows and full websites that make the work faster and sharper.
Where it comes together
The best part is the combination.
A drone or a robot is never just mechanical or just software — it's both, designed and integrated as one system. Engineering the structure, writing the control that brings it to life, then watching the two click together into something that actually flies or drives — that intersection is where the most fun is, and it's what I chase with every build.
