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. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 14” Acer Aspire, Intel core-i5, 32GB RAM

    Old is Gold! This machine packs a punch. With enough memory threshold, working through multiple apps is a breeze!

Communication

  • Apple iPhone 15 pro

    Unmatched simplicity!

Development tools

  • VS Code

    I`ve hustled through different code editors. Hailing from the OG Adobe Dreamworks to bracket. But VS is a legend.

  • OpenAI

    I leverage OpenAI for various AI and API purposes, enhancing my applications with state-of-the-art language models.

  • Amazon AWS

    A powerful platform for front-end development and deployment, enabling seamless integration with frameworks like Next.js.

  • GitHub

    Need a repo? No questions asked, GitHub it is.

Design

  • Figma

    We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.

Productivity

  • Apple Notes

    I use Keep for noting my thoughts, new project ideas, and sometimes I use it as my to-do list as well.

  • Apple Calendar

    My go-to tool for scheduling managing appointments, and organizing my time effectively.
