Uses

Here’s what’s in my digital toolbox — the gear I use to write code, craft interfaces, and stay productive.

Editor + Terminal

My main battlestation is WebStorm — unbeatable for TypeScript, Vue, and React work. For backend tasks, For backend tasks, it’s Rider for C#/.NET and PHPStorm when working on PHP-based projects.
I'm currently experimenting with Cursor — AI-assisted coding is wild, and I’m curious how it’ll slot into my dev flow.
Ghostty is my terminal of choice — sleek and minimal, just how I like it. Though I still have a soft spot for iTerm2.
I mostly stick with Chrome — not perfect, but it gets out of the way and does the job.

Raycast is my command bar BFF. My dock is basically retired.
Homebrew — from CLI essentials to obscure dev tools, it scripts my setup like a charm.
I’m a recovering Adobe power user (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects), but these days I’m learning to love Figma and its clean, collaborative vibes.
TablePlus — a clean and powerful SQL client for all my DB needs.
1Password X — where I stash secrets, keys, and those test credentials I definitely never used in production.
MiniSim & Xcode — my mobile battlegrounds for breaking layouts and debugging scroll views.
Raindrop.io — my digital treasure chest for articles, tools, inspiration, and the occasional meme disguised as research.
BetterTouchTool is my Swiss Army knife for window management. I even mapped F13–F15 for maximum obscure key-flexing.

My daily driver is a 13" Apple MacBook M1 MAX with 32GB RAM — small form, big power.
Plugged into a 27" Apple Studio Display — gorgeous screen, essential for focus mode.
I sit like royalty in a Herman Miller Aeron — one of my smartest purchases. Upgraded with Rollerblade wheels, because I like to glide into meetings. Shoutout to Wes Bos for that one.
The desk? A custom-cut countertop perched on an IKEA standing gaming desk frame — minimal and rock solid.
Keyboard: Apple Magic Keyboard with numpad. Mouse: Magic Mouse 2 — love it or hate it.
Audio: Pioneer DJ studio monitors — perfect for deep focus or casual beat-making.

Local backups run via Time Machine to a Synology NAS — old-school, but solid.
Off-site? Backblaze has it covered — because I believe in backups of backups.
