Tools
Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend. I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I'm being productive when I'm really just procrastinating.

16" MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM
I was using an Intel-based 15" Dell XPS prior to this and the difference is night and day. I've never heard the fans turn on a single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads I put it through with various builds.
LG 32" 4K UHD Monitor
I use this monitor for work and it is a beast.
Logitech MX Master 4
Logitech hits it out of the park as always! Sleek, stylish, and comfortable for long hours of work. So smooth and precise, you'll wonder how you ever used anything else.
Herman Miller Aeron
If I'm going to slouch in the worst ergonomic position imaginable all day, I might as well do it in a classic.
Development
AI Accelerated Development
Claude
My go-to for thinking through problems, writing, and pair-programming. The reasoning quality is in another league.
GPT 5.5
Still the best at quick lookups and brainstorming. I keep it in the rotation for second opinions.
Cursor Composer
Multi-file agent edits inside the editor. Feels less like prompting and more like delegating to a junior dev that actually reads the codebase.
Productivity
Arc Browser
A breath of fresh air in the cluttered browser world! Smooth, sleek, and intuitive. The antidote to browser boredom.
Notion
Notion is like a personal assistant that makes you look good, even if you're actually a hot mess.
Google Calendar
I would be lost without this baddie.
Raycast
Spotlight on steroids. Launching apps, snippets, clipboard history, window management, all without ever leaving the keyboard.
Apple Music
Blasting Burna Boy, Anavitória, Vitor Kley and Dylan Gossett on full volume keeps me focused and pumped!
