Tyler Foos—scholar, outdoorsman, crisis responder, generalist, and systems theorist. My work sits at the intersection of crisis response, human behavior, and social infrastructure, and I operate best when I'm translating across disciplines: prototyping a tool, managing data, writing policy, or being dropped into a high-stress situation to figure out what's actually happening.

I studied psychology, sociology, and philosophy, and completed a master's in forensic psychology—focusing on law, interrogation, negotiation, and the underlying behavioral mechanics of human disconnection. Along the way, I built technical systems for academic centers, responded to mental health crises in the field, managed residential communities during COVID, and started developing design frameworks to fix what I call systemic isolation. It's both a theoretical problem and a daily one.

Right now, my front-burner project is CiviSci—a platform reimagining how scientific research is conducted, funded, and validated. Decentralized, transparent, community-driven. Alongside that, I'm developing The Making of Isolation, a long-form research project mapping the emotional and cultural roots of modern loneliness and proposing early-stage tools for repair.

My goal is to keep building—research, platforms, frameworks, prototypes. I'm not here to polish what's broken. I'm here to test what might actually work.
