About Tyson Frederick

Hi, I\'m Tyson. I build systems that bridge the digital and physical worlds.At my core, I\'m a hybrid designer and developer, fascinated by the space where art and technology meet. My career explores this intersection, driven by a deep curiosity about the systems, seen and unseen, that shape our experiences.I believe every product is a system of rules. My process deconstructs these systems from first principles to find the core problem, then architects new, intuitive experiences that feel meaningful and, at their best, a little bit magical.My Journey: From Art to AI My path to product design has been intentionally multi-disciplinary. It began with building interactive 3D worlds in the Hammer SDK, sparking a passion for immersive environments.That pursuit led me to a Master of Fine Arts in Art & Technology, a three-year R&D fellowship in human-computer interaction. I built generative art systems with Processing and engineered award-winning interactive installations using computer vision and the Kinect.I\'ve since applied that R&D mindset as a founder and creative technologist, leading complex \"zero-to-one\" projects. This includes architecting the four-sided ecosystem for FoodShare and developing a real-time 3D simulation in Unreal Engine 4 to make an invisible process visible for investors.Today, my focus is on the next wave of interaction. I\'m constantly learning (Google UX & IBM AI certified) and channeling my background in generative systems to design the future of intuitive, empowering Human-AI collaboration.Beyond the Pixels When I\'m not designing or coding, my world revolves around my family. I\'m a lifelong explorer of reality (often in video games/game engines), an avid university level researcher, and I love the outdoors. I have a steady thirst for knowledge, from expanding my consciousness to my pursuit of higher education, and I\'m driven by a core belief that technology can solve meaningful, real-world problems.Let\'s Connect I\'m always open to discussing new challenges, innovative ideas, and opportunities to build the future.
