From Scratch is the umbrella for my work teaching code, telling stories, and running public experiments.

Whether you’re rebuilding your technical confidence or your entire life, welcome!

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
