Tools of the trade.
A running list of the tools, hardware, and software I use daily. Inspired by the uses.tech convention.
- Cursor + Neovim
- I go back and forth between the two roughly equally. Cursor for larger projects and AI-assisted workflows, Neovim when I want speed and focus.
- Ghostty
- GPU-accelerated terminal. Fast and stays out of the way.
- zsh
- Nothing fancy, just zsh with a lightweight config.
- Monaspace
- GitHub's variable monospace font family. Clean and readable.
- Arc
- Primary browser. The spaces and split views fit how I work.
- HTTPie
- Clean HTTP client for the terminal. Easier to read than curl.
- Git CLI
- No GUI, just the command line. Muscle memory at this point.
- M2 Max MacBook Pro
- Primary laptop. Also have a custom-built desktop for heavier workloads.
- MSI 49" Curved Ultrawide
- One big screen beats two monitors for me.
- ZSA Moonlander
- Split ergonomic keyboard. Took a while to get used to, but worth it.
- Uplift Standing Desk
- Solid wood top, electric sit-stand. Spend most of the day standing.
- Strata / Obsidian
- Slowly migrating from Obsidian to Strata, a note-taking app I'm building with PARA structure, richer note types, and AI integration.
- Spotify
- Always on while working.
- Aerospace / i3
- Tiling window manager on every machine. Aerospace on macOS, i3 on my Arch Linux desktop.
- Astro 5
- Static site generator for fast, content-focused sites.
- Tailwind CSS
- Utility-first CSS framework for rapid styling.
- MDX
- Markdown with JSX for blog posts and content pages.
- Netlify
- Hosting and deployment with continuous deployment from GitHub.
- Fathom Analytics
- Simple, privacy-focused analytics (no cookies).
