About
Bobby Ghalam — Lucky enough to have been professionally in software for about 10 years and I still genuinely enjoy it. I like hard problems, good tools, and teams where people actually like each other. My teammates tend to agree on the last part. TS, Node, Java, Postgres, and currently immersed in Phoenix/Elixir.
What is this?
∂éjour is a curated feed of worthwhile links from the web — tech, tools, and the occasional rabbit hole. Built to solve a real problem: consolidating a non-stop newsletter inbox into a single weekly digest of the most relevant engineering news, surfacing what keeps coming up across sources. It's also a working portfolio: the site itself is the project, built in Elixir/Phoenix from scratch with a custom scraper pipeline, RSS feed, newsletter ingestion, and self-hosted deployment.
Work

Uses
Hardware, software, and tools I rely on. More soon.
The name
∂éjour is a variation of du jour — French for "of the day." The ∂ is a partial derivative, borrowed from calculus. The accent on the e is wrong and we know it.
