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.
