Our Mission
What is
Bright Wings?
You don't need a CS degree.
You don't need permission.
You don't need to start over.
Bright Wings is for people who take the long way around—career switchers, self-taught builders, and professionals who want practical skills, not academic theater.
We focus on real problems, real tools, and real-world judgment. Not certificates. Not busywork. Not hype.
Bright Wings helps non-traditional learners turn curiosity into capability—and capability into a career that actually lasts.
While simplyike.com represents my consulting work, Bright Wings is where I'm building the ecosystem to grow the developer community itself.
