Hi, I'm
Tammy

I'm 51, I don't write code, and I built the systems that run my business on AI myself. 23 apps since June 2026, for women, working moms and small-business owners.

hey, I'm Tammy

Founder, mom of two, and late to the code.

I own a coding school for kids and I don't write code. So I built the systems that run it on AI, myself.

theCoderSchool Tribeca is in lower Manhattan. In June 2026 I started building the systems that run it, and I haven't stopped. The school is my client zero. Everything I build runs there first, on real parents, real coaches and real money.

Now I'm building a community to help women, working moms and small-business owners learn AI and put it to work in everyday life. The lane I care about is economic mobility and education. The tools I make are for people who run a business or a household, not for engineers.

What I've built

Four of the 23 apps and boards on my hub, and one prototype I'm still shaping. Kitchen Curious is open to anyone. The rest are invite only, private, or not live yet. Most are built with Claude Code and Codex and shipped on Vercel.

How I work

The reason a non-engineer can ship something real and stand behind it.

  1. one
    Nothing invented

    If a number is on this page, there is a record behind it. If I can't source it, it doesn't go up.

  2. two
    The school is client zero

    Every system runs at theCoderSchool Tribeca first, on real parents, real coaches and real money.

  3. three
    Describe, test, ship

    I describe what I want, the AI writes the code, and I test it the way a customer would before anyone else sees it.

  4. four
    For people, not engineers

    Women, working moms and small-business owners. If my front desk can't use it, it isn't done.
