Hey, I'm Blythe!
I'm a developer based in Tampa, Florida, specializing in web programming, C++, and many other things. With a passion for aviation and a background in computer science, I create tools and plugins for many apps, while building my own as well. When I'm not coding, you'll find me doing simulated flights or playing with my dog.

My Journey
Early Days
Born and raised in Jacksonville, discovered computers and programming at an early age.
First Flight Sim
Got access to X-Plane 9 on my dad’s computer.
Introduced to Programming
Learned my first programming language, Python. Started creating simple games and tools.
College Years
Started college at the University of Florida, majoring in Computer Science. Continued to develop my programming skills and got involved in various projects.
Lockdown = More Hobby Time
Returned to flight simulation as covid lockdowns started. Really began to focus on coding as a hobby and played a lot of flight simulators, especially with the release of MSFS 2020. Still had to balance college work.
Move to Tampa
Finished college, moved to Tampa, continuing work on aviation software and open source projects.
What’s Next?
Continuing to develop my skills in software development, contributing to the aviation community, and exploring new technologies. Always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow.
