Hi, I’m Tyler.

I run From Scratch, a collection of work helping people rebuild confidence, craft, and connection.

I’m rebuilding a life after the defaults stopped working. Maybe you are too?

From Scratch Code

Software mentorship for the quietly subversive.

I help thoughtful, quietly ambitious developers go from shipping features to thinking in systems, building the mindset and confidence of a senior engineer along the way.

I also build tools like Memphis, an open-source Python interpreter in Rust, and teach how things work under the hood in Rust and Python.

Work with me or Read what I’ve learned from 200+ hours of mentorship.

From Scratch Press

Nonessential stories for anyone rebuilding life beyond institutions.

Through ridiculous essays, memoir, and fiction, I write about neurodivergence, meaningful work, and building a life that fits.

Start with:

• Why I left my 9-5 for good
• Lake-Effect Coffee, a workplace satire about friendship, burnout, and starting over with a coffee van

Before this chapter, I spent a decade working in public transportation and tech. You can visit the archive if you’re curious.
