Hi, I'm Tyler! I’m a software engineer, mentor, and the robot behind From Scratch Code.

I help quietly ambitious software engineers go from feeling stuck and uncertain to feeling confident, calm, and in control of their tools and career.

I started this work after burning out in multiple 9-5 jobs where I barely wrote code. When I was diagnosed with autism as an adult, I realized I needed a different way of working. One that fit my brain, my values, and my love of building things from scratch.

This energy lives on in Memphis, my open-source Python interpreter written in Rust.

I also write about neurodivergence, meaningful work, and building a life that fits over at From Scratch Press. I care deeply about mental health and helping others design a life where they can thrive.
