Founder

Lisa Mays

Founder & Software Developer

Lisa Mays is a software developer and tinkerer who founded Hopes Tinkery LLC in August 2026. Before that, she spent 10+ years as an MCSE-certified network engineer, then stepped away to care for her family and went back to school to study Software Development & Security.

Lisa builds practical tools that solve real problems: a live insulin pump dashboard for families managing type 1 diabetes, Discord bots that track marketplace listings and price history, and utilities for online game communities.

Hopes Tinkery is where that tinkering becomes polished apps and games, starting with NurtureLedger and PumpDash.
