Hello friend, the name's April! Yup, just like the month. Welcome to my humble abode on the interweb. I hope that you stay a while.

I believe some of the best adventures begin after you've already built a career. And for me, that's Pretty Wired Builds.

I'm a self-taught programmer who've spent years in "big tech" creating immersive worlds, intelligent assistants, and helping developers learn how to build their own experiences along the way.

My current career goal is simple: build props and interactive projects that blur the line between technology and imagination. To get there, I'm teaching myself all the fundamentals of electronics and animatronics.

If you're starting over, learning later in life, or simply curious about what's possible, you're in good company. Let's figure it out together!
