I'm a dad who codes,
and a developer who writes about it.

SAHD.dev — Stay-At-Home Dad, Developer — is a personal journal documenting the intersection of parenthood, lifestyle, and modern web development. Not a content brand. Not a faceless tutorial factory.

I started writing because I was tired of developer content that pretends you have eight uninterrupted hours and a standing desk in a minimalist apartment. I don't. I have ninety minutes a day, a six-year-old who treats my office like a stage, and a Friday-afternoon deploy window that closes at recital time.

The flagship is the build-in-public series — currently Signuppity, a SaaS competitor to SignupGenius, documented from first commit to first customer. Every decision, every mistake, every AI prompt that saved or wasted my time. Receipts included.

"My daughter asked me what I do for work. I said I help computers talk to each other. She said "that's boring" and went back to practicing her time steps. She's not wrong — but somebody's gotta pay for those tap shoes."

I'm a Black father in a developer space that has, historically, not had a lot of either. That perspective is the lens, not the thesis — present in the references, the humor, the cultural touchpoints, and the specificity of the voice. Not the topic of every post, but the reason every post sounds like me.
