Hey 👋🏻 !
I'm Kevin, a full-stack developer running a digital prototyping company with my business partner called Spin Up.
When I'm not consulting and building for clients, I'm writing content here, curating my newsletter or creating videos.
Outside of work, I enjoy handing out with my wife and sons - camping, hiking and kayaking or just curling up with a good book.

I read the first three chapters of Programming TypeScript and re-watched John Linquist's video series on getting 'Up and Running with Typescript'.
I say re-watched because according to egghead, I'd watched it already - who knew?
I tried to get up and running with emacs and I think I'm largely there. I was having some issues with the arrow keys behaving strangely when I was in insert mode, so I moved to VSCode to try to get some work done.
On a work project, I install typescript and the React types. For a component I was building I typed everything. It was pretty straightforward but for now couldn't see what I was being saved.
I'm keeping the Notion doc up to date with the resources I'm using. If you have any other resources you think I should be checking out let me know.
Follow me here and on Twitter if you want to keep up to date.
