Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
People often ask me about my setup - from the tools that keep me coding to the gadgets that probably just make me feel more productive. Here's my honest take on everything I use daily.
Workstation
MacBook Pro M3 (FixMyCar Refurbished)
After months of pleading my case with spreadsheets of compile times, I finally graduated from my trusty refurb MacBook to this M3 beast. Going from constant fan noise and coffee-break-length builds to this is like upgrading from a bicycle to a Ferrari. Worth. Every. Minute. Of. Begging.Custom Gaming PC Build
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Eight Core (Socket AM5)
- Gainward GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Panther OC 16GB
- Corsair Vengeance EXPO 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
- WD Black SN770 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD
- Kolink Observatory Y Mesh ARGB Case
- Kolink Umbra Void 360mm AIO CPU Cooler
- Windows 11 Home
Logitech MX Keys
This keyboard has survived coffee spills, late-night coding sessions, and countless device switches. The seamless multi-device support means I can jump between my MacBook and PC without missing a keystroke.Logitech G502 Lightspeed
Upgraded from a bargain bin mouse to this beast. It's like going from drawing with crayons to using a precision laser - though my coding errors suggest I can't blame the mouse anymore.
Some of my favorite development tools
Cursor
VSCode with an AI copilot that actually understands context. Yes, I'm probably single-handedly melting a glacier somewhere with all these AI queries, but my productivity is through the roof. Sorry, polar bears.Tailwind
The perfect balance of flexibility and structure. It's transformed how I build interfaces, and the utility-first approach just clicks with my brain. The documentation is a masterclass in technical writing too.TablePlus
The Swiss Army knife for database management. It's saved me countless hours of building admin panels, and somehow makes SQL feel less intimidating.
Design
Figma
Started as our design tool, evolved into our digital headquarters. It's where our best ideas come to life, whether it's during proper design sessions or late-night brainstorming. Beats endless Jira tickets for creative work any day.
