Devin Brand

Hi there, friend! I'm Devin, and I believe technology should make people's lives genuinely better - not just more efficient, but more human.

I work with data and code, currently as a Donor Database Specialist at a senior care nonprofit. But what drives me is exploring bigger questions: How do social systems really work? What does data reveal about issues that matter? How can we build tools that democratize access to enterprise-grade capabilities?

My ADHD brain means I obsess over details, hyperfocus on patterns, and connect ideas in unexpected ways. Living with depression and anxiety shapes how I think about mental health, data ethics, and building systems that account for human complexity, not just human efficiency.

Current projects: DonorIntel (enterprise fundraising platform for organizations that can't afford enterprise pricing), Hyper Curious (newsletter exploring social issues and mental health through data), and various tools that blend technical rigor with empathy.

If you care about thoughtful technology, human-centered data work, or just asking better questions - you're in the right place.
