Growing up with ADHD, I know firsthand how traditional learning environments can feel limiting. Desks, silence, and strict routines didn’t work for the way my brain is stimulated. I needed movement, creativity, and freedom to express myself.

My journey began not with tech, but with music. I started composing songs at an early age. One of my earliest school memories is getting in trouble for quietly serenading a song I made up during a test. That moment might have frustrated my teacher, but it helped my mom realize I needed a different kind of environment. She enrolled me in a music and performing arts school, and that’s where I flourished.

Through music, I learned about patterns, rhythm, repetition, and flow, all concepts that quietly prepared me for something I hadn’t yet discovered: coding.

Later, I attended CodeStack Academy, and I am now working on transferring from San Joaquin Delta College to pursue a degree in Computer Science. I didn’t come from a tech background, but I found that the same structure and creativity I loved in music also existed in code. Both allow you to build, to express, and to solve.

That’s why I created KAYGE Koding to offer freelance digital services and build a space where kids, especially neurodivergent learners, can learn to code in a way that’s fun, flexible, and freeing. My goal is to show kids that they don’t have to change who they are to succeed in tech; they just need the right environment.
One day, I also hope to teach coding to Deaf and Blind students, because real innovation includes every kind of mind and every kind of learner.
At KAYGE Koding, we believe in code with heart, where every kid can grow, create, and truly be themselves.
