About
Hi, I'm Tyler! I’m a New York City-based software engineer and technical mentor, and the founder of 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.
My background spans software up-and-down the stack, including work at AMD and the MTA. That mix shapes how I think and teach: practical and grounded in how real systems behave.
I started this work after burning out in multiple 9-5 jobs. When I was diagnosed as neurodivergent 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.
That energy lives on in Memphis, my open-source Python interpreter written in Rust, along with my writing on meaningful work and building a life that fits.
Elsewhere
- I share notes on what I'm building and experimenting with on LinkedIn.
- I write about meaningful work and neurodivergence at From Scratch Press.
What I Value
Kindness in collaboration: I believe technical growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of emotional safety.
Curious autonomy: I believe real learning comes from getting your hands dirty and making decisions yourself.
Sustainable work: I believe in work that supports your health and your life, not the other way around.
