Quick Notes

This page is my personal reference corner — a place to quickly find the code snippets, commands, and tools I use most often. It’s not a guide or a tutorial, just a growing collection of practical notes I reach for when I need to move fast and stay focused. Simple, useful, and always a work in progress.
