Who is this

I'm a full-stack developer based in Portland, Oregon. By day I work on distributed systems at a mid-sized SaaS company. By night — and honestly most weekends — I'm either tweaking my Neovim config, dialing in a pour-over recipe, or losing track of time in whatever game I'm currently obsessed with.

Dev Day Notes started as a private Notion doc where I kept track of tools, coffee beans, and games I wanted to remember. At some point I realized other people might find this stuff useful, so I turned it into a blog.

What I write about

Code — Dev tools, editor configs, workflow experiments. Not tutorials per se — more like field notes from someone who's always fiddling with their setup.

Play — Gaming impressions, mostly indie and mid-tier titles. I'm interested in game design as much as the games themselves.

Finds — The interesting stuff I stumble across: coffee brands, review sites, tools, blogs. The internet is full of great things hidden behind bad SEO.
