Currently Learning Artificial Intelligence

Full-Time at SiteVue AI — Driven to Learn & Grow

Franklin, Tennessee

Tolan Trudeau

Been messing with computers since I was 12. Now I'm learning to build AI systems.

I've always been drawn to technology — I started tinkering with computers at 12 years old, learning how things worked by just diving in and figuring it out. That same curiosity led me to where I am now: working full-time at SiteVue AI, where I'm learning to code and build real AI-powered systems from the ground up. I'm currently vibe coding — using AI tools to develop websites, applications, and automation systems while picking up programming fundamentals hands-on.

I started working at 14 — washing cars, doing construction, and working in a kitchen, all while attending Franklin Classical School, a private school in Franklin, Tennessee. After graduating, I skipped college and kept building real-world experience. Every one of those jobs taught me something I use today. That grit, adaptability, and drive to figure things out is what got me into AI — and it's what keeps me pushing forward every day.
