About

Tyson Shannon

Tyson Shannon

I am a software developer from Calgary, Alberta pursuing work in the Toronto area. I have a B.S. in Computer Information Technology, a minor in Mathematics, and a certificate in Software Development from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I have a strong background in software development, cybersecurity, and data visualization, gained through three summers as a cybersecurity intern. I enjoy building systems that are secure, efficient, and transparent. I'm especially interested in emerging technologies, AI, decentralized platforms, and turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. As a former NCAA D2 distance runner, I bring the same discipline, perseverance, and goal-oriented mindset to software development and problem-solving that I learned on the track.
