Tyler is an expert in AI, mental health, and building great products. The Path remembers you across sessions, draws from a range of therapist personalities, escalates safely in a crisis, and limits session length so the app helps you make progress instead of keeping you hooked. Tyler knows that in technology, what you optimize for becomes what you ship, which is why he built The Path to optimize for solving your problem, not keeping you talking forever.

Before The Path, Tyler was the Founding Engineer at Calm, the world's #1 Mental Health app, building the flagship product and the engineering team. He's spent the past decade of his career building tools to improve the world's mental health, because he believes this is by far the biggest problem in the world. Without good mental health, nothing else matters, and Tyler believes in the power of technology to make the biggest positive impact here.
