Uses

Hardware, software, and services that make up my daily development setup. Updated regularly as things change.

Workstation

14” MacBook M1 Pro, 32GB RAM (2021)

I've been using a MacBook M1 Pro for over 5 years now and it's been an absolute pleasure. The performance is incredible, the battery life is great, and the keyboard is a joy to use. However, after watching DHH talk about Omarchy, it's tempting to switch back to a ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Dell UltraSharp U2725QE

I use a Dell UltraSharp U2725QE for its 27-inch 4K IPS panel that delivers razor-sharp text and color-accurate visuals, plus its one-cable USB-C hub with 90W power delivery keeps your laptop charged while feeding Ethernet, USB, and DisplayPort signals—perfect for a clutter-free, productivity-focused engineering setup.

Keychron Q1 Ultra 8K Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

I love the feel of this keyboard. Its fully programmable layout with QMK/VIA support—you can tailor macros, layers, and shortcuts exactly to your workflow, so every complex build command or IDE action is just a single keypress away.

Logitech MX Master 3S

The scroll wheel alone is worth it.

Development

Zed

I always look forward to any opportunity where I can use Zed. It's a lightning-fast editor and the built-in AI assistance makes it a pleasure to work with.

PhpStorm 2023

I've been using PhpStorm for over 10 years now and I can't imagine using anything else. It's the most productive PHP IDE out there.

DataGrip 2023

I use DataGrip for all of my database work. It has so many drivers available that it makes connecting to any database a breeze.

Warp

Terminal with AI command suggestions and shareable sessions.

GitKraken

I use GitKraken for all of my Git work. It's a great tool for visualizing branches and commits. Using the PR summary is a life changing experience because it shows me exactly what needs to be fixed before merging.

Yaak

Yaak is a lightweight, local-first API client for testing HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket APIs — think Insomnia or Postman, but rebuilt with sharper opinions.

Software

Brave Browser

I'm on the hunt for a new browser that doesn't track my browsing history.

Raycast

Spotlight replacement. The clipboard history alone saves hours.

Todoist

I use this to keep track of my life because of my short attention span.

Obsidian

Obsidian is a local-first, plain-text knowledge management app built around a folder of Markdown files on your disk.

Services

Cloudflare

I've really enjoyed migrating all my personal services to Hono / Astro and Cloudflare. DNS, Pages, Workers, R2, D1 — the full edge platform.

GitHub

Source control, Actions for CI/CD, and Copilot.

Sentry

Error tracking and performance monitoring.
