Your Knowledge, Organized and Accessible
After decades in software development, I've learned that your ability to capture, organize, and retrieve knowledge is just as important as your coding skills.
Obsidian has transformed how I manage everything from daily standup notes to complex technical documentation. Combined with automation tools like iOS Shortcuts, it becomes a productivity powerhouse.
Whether you're tracking your daily work, building a personal knowledge base, or creating a system that scales with your career, these guides will show you how.
