Uses

This page is a running list of the tools, hardware, and software I use daily. It's inspired by the uses.tech convention — a collection of developers sharing their setups.

Editor & Terminal

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.

Dev Tools

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.

Hardware

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.

Apps

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.

This Site

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).
