Hardware
MacBook Air M4 (2024)
16GB RAM, 256GB storage. This thing is fast. The M4 chip handles everything I throw at it — VS Code with 10+ tabs, a dozen terminal windows, Docker containers, multiple browsers with 30+ tabs each, GSAP animations running in dev, and it doesn't break a sweat. Fanless design means it's completely silent. Best laptop I've ever owned.
Google Pixel 8A
Stock Google Android. No bloat, no nonsense. Does what a phone should do and stays out of the way.
Steam Deck
My portable testing rig. I use it for game dev testing, tinkering with Linux, and sometimes actual gaming. Surprisingly capable for a handheld.
Software
VS Code
My main editor. Cursor's AI features are nice, but VS Code with the right extensions is unbeatable. I run the GitHub Copilot extension, ESLint, Prettier, and a handful of theme and icon packs. My config is mostly default — I don't spend time tweaking my editor, I spend time writing code.
opencode
The CLI tool I use for AI-assisted development. It runs in the terminal, integrates with my workflow, and doesn't try to replace my editor. I use it for refactoring, code review, and bouncing off ideas when I'm stuck.
Brave
My main browser. Fast, Chromium-based, and the built-in ad blocking means I don't need extensions for the basics. Shields Up mode is the default everywhere. I use it for everything — dev work, browsing, media, you name it.
Firefox
I keep Firefox around for testing and for a few extensions that work better in its ecosystem. The container tabs are great for separating work/personal stuff when I need it. Still respect what Mozilla does, just not my daily driver anymore.
Terminal
Ghostty. Fast, native-style terminal that looks good out of the box. GPU-accelerated, no config nonsense. I keep my prompt clean with a few aliases and git integration — spent years customizing and realized I was just procrastinating.
Linux
I used to run Debian with KDE Plasma. Solid, boring, got the job done. At some point I tried Arch with Hyprland — tiling WMs are genuinely fun to use. Not gonna get sassy about it though, I don't care what you use.
Other Tools
- GitHub: Where everything lives. 147+ repos and counting.
- Cloudflare: DNS, domain management, and some worker scripts.
- Blender: For 3D modeling when I need it.
- Unity / Unreal: Game engines I dip into for prototypes.
