Build electronics you actually understand.

If you’ve ever followed a tutorial and then felt stuck when something behaved unexpectedly, that moment isn’t failure. It’s where the interesting questions appear.

Tinker Mavens is a space for beginners who want to slow down and look closely at what's happening inside their projects. The focus is on clear explanations that help you build confidence to design your own projects.

Alexis, founder of Tinker Mavens, smiling

Hi — I’m Alexis.

For the past decade, I’ve taught mathematics, coding, and AI, with a focus on making complex concepts understandable. My work has reached millions of learners through places like Google, Kaggle, Udacity, and Cohere.

I believe beginners can understand highly technical material when it is explained with care.

Tinker Mavens exists to help learners build that understanding and make space for creative exploration along the way.
