Building from Zero After Addiction, Prison, and a Felony

Original: Building from zero after addiction, prison, and a felony

A personal essay on rebuilding a software career after addiction, incarceration, and a felony record.

Gavin Ray recounts entering juvenile prison at 14, becoming a felon at 19, and losing stability to addiction. The essay follows his path back through software work, open source, Hasura, and people willing to judge him by future contribution rather than only past record. AI is not the focus; Claude Code is only mentioned as the tool used to generate the OpenGraph SVG image.
