About

Parallel is led by Tyler Schlachter.
I am a geographer and applied researcher with a background in socio-economic analysis, GIS, and software development. My work sits at the intersection of place-based research and tool building with cutting edge tech.
Before starting Parallel, I worked across academic, government, and consulting settings in a variety of domains.
Parallel is a one-person studio by design. Engagements are small, direct, and shaped around the problem. For larger efforts I am always available to partner with trusted colleagues.
