Tye Bryant

I build cloud platforms for EV chargers, and games for fun.

I've spent eight years in industry, going from small multiplayer games to mobile AR to enterprise integrations. At Tritium I work on the AWS platform that processes, stores and surfaces data from thousands of fast chargers out in the field. On my own time I'm still making games, along with a D&D virtual tabletop and the infrastructure to run them for a few dollars a month.

Recommendations

Tye is a brilliant and innovative professional who comfortably straddles Software Engineering, Solutions Architecture and Systems Design with an easygoing, can-do attitude. Tye has excelled in his mentoring of other professionals, whether they're in his discipline or not.

I've worked with Tye for some years now, and I highly recommend him as a Programmer. Since he started working at Ardacious (then 89Friends) as an intern, he's grown significantly as a programmer and as a professional, acquiring a large amount of skills in the time I've worked with him. Tye is a focused and skilled programmer and would be a valuable addition to any project.

Projects

Things I build on my own time.

Hull Breach title screen with Daily, Endless, Tutorial and Upgrades buttons. A deck mid-run: a grid of revealed scan values and hidden metal tiles, with the O2 and charge bars above and the hazard manifest below. The tutorial explaining that every deck hides one reactor core, and that you tap threats on purpose to drain them.

Game · Godot · In development

Hull Breach

A portrait, touch-first deduction roguelite for the browser. Each run descends through the decks of a derelict station. Every deck is a hidden grid where revealed tiles show the total threat around them, and a manifest lists exactly what's out there. Clearing safe tiles doesn't win: you hunt down the reactor core and drain threats on purpose.

  • Every board is generated with a solver guarantee, so no deck ever forces a guess.
  • A pure-Python generator and solver is the reference oracle; the GDScript port is checked against it board-for-board in CI.
  • Seeded daily runs and an endless mode, with upgrades bought between runs.
  • Azure Pipelines exports the web build, holds it to a download-size budget and ships it to itch.io with butler.

GoobDoob VTT

A custom virtual tabletop for the homebrew D&D 5e campaign I run. It replaced a shared Excalidraw board with something that actually understands the campaign's rules.

  • A shared, real-time battle map: tokens with HP, freehand drawing on separate DM, shared and player layers, and a library of 60-odd spell area templates that snap to the grid.
  • Character sheets import straight from D&D Beyond PDFs, and their roll buttons broadcast to a shared roll feed.
  • A dual-sheet character model for the campaign's timeline-rewind lore, kept in lockstep between TypeScript on the client and C# on the server.
  • The whole campaign lives here too: a zoomable world map with private pins, party and loot tracking, and lore with per-player visibility.
  • Every session opens with a “Previously on…” recap, backed by an archive of read-aloud recaps, player notes and search.
  • Serverless on AWS, sized to run for under AU$2 a month.

Home game-server relay

Hosting a dedicated game server from a home PC, without port forwarding, a static IP, or paying for a game-sized cloud machine. A tiny ARM instance on AWS takes the public traffic; the home machine dials out to it, and the tunnel carries players back home.

  • The home PC opens the rathole tunnel outbound, so the router needs no open ports.
  • The relay is one CloudFormation stack: instance, Elastic IP, security group and DNS record.
  • Azure Pipelines deploys the stack and, through a self-hosted agent on the home box, installs and updates the game server itself.
  • An idempotent PowerShell bootstrap means a replacement machine is one script away.

Earlier games

Small-team Unity projects from around my games degree at SAE Institute, circa 2017. All still up on itch.io.

  • Arena of the Bored Kings

    Lead programmer

    Split-screen, first-person arena duels on the couch, as a Mage or a Swordsman with elemental abilities that combine.

  • Good Morning

    Lead programmer

    A slow, warm game about a morning routine: shower, coffee, step by step, in the orange light of 7 a.m.

  • Firefly

    Programmer

    Fly Felix the firefly through a train station at night, spending your light to see and to boost, and collecting more to survive.

  • Beginning of Choice

    Programmer & designer

    A short story game: pick a companion and make the choices that decide how it ends.

Also from that era, on GitHub: Killbots, a C++ AI project, and Unity Scoreboard, a drop-in CSV-backed high-score table.

About

I come from a games programming background: a Bachelor of Games Development at SAE, then an internship at 89Friends that turned into nearly five years of contract work, including leading an augmented-reality tabletop product. That work is what pulled me towards databases, payments and backend services.

A Graduate Certificate in Computer Science at UQ filled in the low-level side, from kernel development to compilers and concurrency. Since 2022 I've been at Tritium, working between engineering, product and executives on how the platform should grow: what it costs, how it performs, and what it takes to satisfy a regulator.

Outside work it's still games, plus the homebrew D&D campaign I run, which is how a virtual tabletop ended up on this page. I like software that's cheap to run, easy to redeploy and pleasant for the people using it.
