From Scratch is where I try to make the world a little kinder, weirder, and smaller.

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

You can start with Why I left my 9-5 for good, or check out my novella, Lake-Effect Coffee, a workplace satire about friendship, burnout, and starting over with a coffee van.

From Scratch Code

I teach the craft of writing software from the ground up through mentorship and hands-on projects in Rust and Python. If you want to go deeper, I’d love to be your technical cheerleader.

I’m also building an open-source Python interpreter in Rust, known as Memphis, and sharing what I learn along the way.
