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

I mentor developers in Rust and Python, with a focus on building real-world tools from scratch. Whether you’re building libraries, tools, or just want to understand the internals more deeply, I’m here to help you grow into a more confident, capable engineer.

This work means a lot to me. After years in the 9–5 world writing little-to-no code and burning out hard with adult-diagnosed autism, I left to create something better. Something aligned with my brain, my values, and my need for autonomy.

My main open-source project is Memphis, a Python interpreter written in Rust. It reflects the type of technical work I love most: building things from scratch, understanding every layer, and making complex topics approachable.

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

Whether I’m writing interpreters or coaching developers, I try to bring curiosity, kindness, and a bit of silliness to the work. And while I can help you go deep on Rust, I cannot help you center a div.
