FunnyLookinHat / David Overcash

My name is David Overcash, and I live in Maine, USA. o/

This site is meant to be a brief introduction to myself and a collection of links and documents that I find interesting.

Some things about myself

• I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, USA.
• • The greatest gift of living near Chicago is a love for food.
  • Favorite Pizza: Chicago pub-style thin crust
  • Favorite Burrito: El Famous Burrito
  • Favorite Sandwich: Italian Beef (dipped!)
  • I'm lucky enough to live near a chicago-style hotdog joint: Cormier's Dog House
• I've lived in the following places: Chicago (IL), West Lafayette (IN, Purdue University), Denver (CO), Seattle (WA), Port Townsend (WA), Portland (ME).
• My partner and I have been together for 15+ years and have a son - Jasper.
• I am software developer by trade.

• I used to work out of a barn, but we moved!
• I love to travel internationally.
• • My most recent trip was to Japan in April of 2023.

Technical Stuff

• Lately I've been mostly writing code in Node.js; I keep looking for opportunities to use Golang or Rust.
• I currently am running Pop OS (GNU/Linux) as my daily driver.
• At our previous home in rural Washington, we worked with the local public utility district to build out fiber service to our house. It was a really fun technical project, and I'd be happy to share advice with anyone looking to do the same!
