Discover the Tech, Gadgets, and Tools That Power My World
Many people are curious about the tools I use to build software, boost productivity, and occasionally indulge in some well-deserved procrastination. So, I've compiled a comprehensive list of all my favorite items for you to explore.
Workstation Wonders
16” MacBook Pro M1 Max (2021) | 32GB RAM
My primary coding powerhouse. The M1 Max chip effortlessly handles everything from Docker containers to complex React builds. Multiple browser instances, local servers, and even occasional machine learning experiments run smoothly without turning the fans into jet engines.
LG 32GS95UV
A crisp 4K OLED display with NVIDIA G-SYNC for a fluid experience when debugging graphics-heavy apps or just running multiple terminal windows. Plenty of screen real estate so I can keep my VS Code, GitHub issues, and live browser preview side by side.
Apple Magic Trackpad
The multi-touch gestures make me feel like a coding wizard. Scrolling through dense logs or navigating large codebases becomes simpler, helping me avoid wrist strain during marathon dev sessions.
Herman Miller Aeron
Perfect ergonomic support for long stretches of coding, debugging, and occasional gaming. Posture is everything when you're in the zone writing that crucial Node.js API or finishing up a late-night Rust project.
Development Dynamo
Visual Studio Code
The only IDE I never stray from. Packed with extensions for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, and more. Between Prettier and ESLint, I keep my code tidy, while integrated Git support lets me push commits with zero friction.
Github Copilot
An AI-powered buddy that speeds up code completion and reduces repetitive typing. It's like having a junior developer who can suggest the perfect function snippet in real time, letting me focus on architecture and logic.
Starship
A blazing-fast, cross-shell prompt that transforms my terminal into a sleek control center. Clear, minimal, and informative, Starship shows me crucial info (like Git branch status) at a glance.
Docker
My go-to for containerized environments, ensuring consistent builds and deployments across multiple projects. Docker helps me spin up local dev servers without polluting my main system, so I can jump between Next.js sites and Flask APIs in a snap.
Design & Collaboration
Figma
Initially a design tool, Figma has evolved into our company-wide virtual whiteboard. The collaboration features have exceeded all expectations.
Miscellaneous Magic
NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super
For when I need that extra GPU horsepower—be it rendering complex 3D graphics or running quick ML inferencing tests. This beast of a graphics card handles it all while keeping frame rates sky-high.
NVIDIA Project DIGITS
Coming soon to my workstation.
Steam Deck 512GB
When I'm not coding, I'm often unwinding with a Steam Deck session. It's also an interesting platform to explore Linux gaming and potential side projects like open-source gaming mods.
Sony Alpha 7C
A compact, lightweight mirrorless camera that doubles as my streaming and tutorial-recording companion. Crisp visuals for any video conferencing or live-coding sessions I host.
M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro
A full-sized keyboard for fueling my creative energy, whether composing music for personal projects or using a quick jam session to reset my brain between coding sprints.
Why These Tools Matter
Each piece of hardware and software on this list isn't just for show—it's part of my daily workflow as a Software Engineer. From front-end design with Figma to containerized deployments with Docker, I choose tools that help me prototype faster, collaborate seamlessly, and deliver robust solutions. Got a project idea or simply curious about my setup? Feel free to reach out. I'm always excited to discuss new challenges, optimize workflows, and push boundaries in web, mobile, and emerging tech development. Let's build something extraordinary.
