I lead and implement highly visible and scalable enterprise technology projects used by hundreds of thousands of users.
Hey! It's John Tyndall, and I'm an endpoint engineering leader located in State College, PA.
I have a demonstrated history of designing, implementing, and scaling highly visible enterprise device management services and systems — but I don't just wear a nice-looking suit and tie: I also get hands-on and write code, design complex services spanning multiple geographic locations, and architect technical environments used across organizations.
In 2020, I created WebLabs, a brand new service to remotely access academic technology at Penn State University. A year later, I led the evolution of this service into Penn State's first successful (and University-wide) virtual desktop environment.
Case Study
Provisioning systems is time-consuming and much harder than it needs to be. The Windows Build Key is a tool to help IT admins quickly—and consistently—deploy Windows operating systems.
Case Study
IT is routinely the Department of No, an obstacle to productivity. The "Unmanaged" Managed Desktop provides a framework for managing endpoints at scale, while keeping end-users and the security office off your back.
