Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

The tools I actually reach for to build, ship, and stay productive — nothing aspirational, just what’s open on my machine most days.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)

    My daily driver. It handles everything I throw at it — builds, local servers, scrapers running in the background — without ever breaking a sweat.

  • LG UltraFine 4K 27” Display

    Crisp, color-accurate, and big enough to keep an editor, a browser, and a terminal in view at once.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

    Clean, low-profile, and the Touch ID saves me from typing my password a hundred times a day.

  • Logitech MX Master 3

    The best mouse I’ve used. The scroll wheel alone is worth it, and the side gestures speed up everything.

  • Muzzo H80 Pro Chair

    Where I spend most of my day. Good support matters more the longer you sit.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    My main editor. Familiar, fast, and endlessly extensible.

  • Cursor

    VS Code with AI built in. A big part of how I move quickly from idea to working code.

  • Claude Code

    My pair-programmer in the terminal — great for larger changes, refactors, and getting unstuck fast.

  • iTerm2

    The terminal I live in. Split panes and good defaults.

Design

  • Figma

    For laying out interfaces before I build them, and for keeping screens consistent.

  • Canva

    Quick graphics, social images, and anything I need to put together without opening a full design tool.

AI & generation

  • Gemini (Nano Banana)

    For generating and editing images when I need visuals fast.

  • Wispr Flow

    Voice-to-text I use to think out loud and draft quickly instead of typing everything.

Productivity

  • One Thing

    A tiny menu-bar app that keeps my single most important task in front of me all day.
