From reading the notebook he may be a game developer. Quite a few of the pages look like notes from algorithms on rendering a game, maybe an FPS or RTS game, and he talks about outputting to the console and sprites.

Yes, though I would say amateur game developer. Like the kid who always wanted to build a game but never did, got a "real job" doing some kind of much more boring programming.
There is one point where he is musing about mapping commands to hex values within a single byte which makes me think he started programming in the 8bit era.
