Thank you for considering sponsoring my work!

Your support helps me treat software as a craft and reaching more engineers through mentorships.

I've loved learning how things work since I began coding in 2005 (in QBasic!). Today, I’m an independent software engineer and mentor, helping developers deepen their technical skills, creativity, and confidence.

My current work spans several areas:

👨‍🎓 From Scratch Code: an ecosystem for personalized Rust and Python mentorship. I offer 1:1 support and a growing set of courses:

🦉 Memphis: a ridiculous Python interpreter written—from scratch—in Rust. It can run some code, but probably not your code. Supports both a treewalk interpreter and a bytecode VM.

✍️ From Scratch Press: writing on neurodivergence, meaningful work, and figuring out how to build a life that fits. Why I left my 9-5 for good is a great place to start.

Thanks again for your support! It means a lot!
