Hi, I'm Jaron 👋

I'm a full-time software engineer with a passion for crafting tools that enhance productivity while respecting privacy. When I'm not coding, you'll find me experimenting with espresso, trying out productivity hacks, or spending time with my family.

What I Build

I create developer tools that embrace these core principles:

• Clean, Focused Functionality: Every tool serves a specific purpose, doing one thing exceptionally well
• Enhanced Developer Workflows: Making the command line work smarter for real-world development
• Privacy-Respecting Design: Your data stays where it belongs - with you
• Open Source Sustainability: All projects are freely available to use, study, and modify

What I Write About

No-fluff tutorials and insights for the modern privacy-minded developer:

• Terminal Mastery: Practical guides for living in the command line
• Privacy & Control: Taking ownership of your digital footprint
• Software Engineering: Clean code principles and Golang insights
• Developer Tools: Deep dives into productivity-enhancing tools
• Faith & Philosophy: Thoughts on being a Christian developer in tech

Current Focus

My main project is LSQ, a blazing-fast CLI that brings terminal efficiency to Logseq notetaking:

• Lightning-fast notetaking from your terminal
• Streamlined workflow integration
• Privacy-first architecture
• Custom TUI for deeper note sessions

About Me

Beyond the command line, I'm:

• 💼 Engineering software solutions full-time
• 👨‍👩‍👦 Spending quality time with my family
• ☕ Pursuing the perfect espresso shot
• ⚡ Optimizing daily workflows
• ✝️ Living out my faith in Christ
