Tech That Works, for People Like Us
For most of my life, I thought I was bad at systems. Turns out the systems were bad for my brain.
I'm Amanda — the Pythoness Programmer. I'm a late-identified neurodivergent, a Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years across communications, systems, and code, and someone who learned everything I now teach the hard way: in the middle of a pandemic bootcamp, a first engineering job, a new diagnosis, and a body that had been asking me to slow down for years before I finally listened.
I didn't find clarity through a productivity system. I found it through community, through decolonizing frameworks, through other neurodivergent people naming the patterns I'd been blaming on myself my whole life.
That's what I offer now. Not rescue. Reflection.
Reflection sessions, not rescue.
What is this struggle trying to teach you?
You're not broken. You're not lazy. You're not bad at tech.
You're running a brain that mainstream tools were never designed for — and you've probably spent years trying to adapt yourself to systems that were always going to fight you.
I sit with you in the aftermath of your last tech hurdle and ask the question nobody else is asking: What is this struggle trying to teach you?
Together we examine what the friction is actually revealing — about what you've internalized from productivity culture, about what your brain actually needs, about the patterns you keep repeating and why they keep failing.
So you don't make it a third time.

The Pythia were ancient oracles — the ones people came to when they were standing at a crossroads and needed someone to sit with the complexity and speak plainly. They didn't give orders. They demystified. That's the work. Tech is full of complexity that gets used to make people feel small. My job is to make it clear — and to remind you that your brain was never the problem.
I don't swoop in with quick fixes. I don't have all the answers, and I'm not here to pretend otherwise. I'm a guide, not a guru. What I do is sit with you in the aftermath of your last tech hurdle and ask: What is this struggle trying to teach you? Together we reflect on the patterns you keep repeating — and why they keep failing; uncover what you've internalized from ableist, productivity-obsessed tech culture; discover resources you didn't know existed; and build understanding so you don't make it a third time. My sessions blend deep technical expertise, tarot-guided intuition, and neurodivergent-centered design. We start and end with a tarot pull to guide our reflection.
My Core Values
- Learning — Building digital fluency, not dependency. My goal is to guide you to your own aha moments, not create a reliance on mine.
- Resourcefulness — There are so many tools, frameworks, and approaches that don't get mainstream attention but might be exactly right for your brain. I love finding them. Hidden gems are my thing.
- Serenity — Tech struggles are stressful enough. Our sessions are calm, grounded spaces. No pressure, no judgment, no urgency. Just clarity.
- Inclusion — This is a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ folks, sex workers, and anyone marginalized by mainstream tech culture. I center neurodivergent experiences and decolonizing practices in everything I do.
- Humor — Sometimes the most useful thing we can do is laugh at the absurdity of a system that was never built for us. I bring levity. It's part of the work.
- Resilience — You've survived every tech hurdle so far. My job is to help you build the understanding that makes you stronger for the next one. We're not just working through a problem — we're building capacity.
