Education

I was valedictorian at the Texas School for the Blind with the highest test scores in my grade and four scholarships. Two weeks before graduation, I had to go home. They stripped everything. I got my diploma in the mail.

The ultimate goal is an organization for multiply disabled people. But most of us were taught we can’t contribute before we ever got the chance to try. The school rebuilds what the systems took.

I’ve been sitting with a vision for months. A learning program designed for multiply disabled people from the ground up. Not accommodations bolted onto a broken system, but something built for us as the default case. This isn’t a launch. It’s a ramp.

A personal update on why I am moving away from the backend developer path, what Boot.dev did teach me, and what I want to build next with accessibility and sustainability in mind.
