My Tools
A curated list of the hardware, software, and services I rely on every day to build, ship, and stay organised. Inspired by uses.tech.
🖥️Hardware
MacBook Pro 13" (2022, M2)
The M2 chip packs serious performance into a compact form factor. Handles large codebases, Docker containers, and heavy builds with ease — and the portability is unbeatable.
LG 35" UltraWide Monitor
LG 35WN75C-B curved QHD UltraWide. The extra horizontal real estate makes side-by-side layouts effortless and cuts down on alt-tabbing.
⚡Development
PhpStorm / WebStorm
JetBrains IDEs are my go-to for anything web-related. Deep refactoring support, first-class debugging, and reliable code intelligence out of the box.
Claude Code
AI pair programmer that lives in the terminal. I use it for complex refactors, generating boilerplate, and reasoning through architecture decisions.
Zsh + Oh My Zsh
A fast, scriptable shell with sensible defaults. Oh My Zsh plugins like z and git aliases meaningfully speed up my daily workflow.
Git
I lean on conventional commits and short-lived feature branches. Good commit hygiene makes code review and bisecting much easier.
Docker
Containerised local environments mean no more 'works on my machine' moments. Keeps dependencies isolated and onboarding straightforward.
Antigravity
Google's agent-first IDE built on VS Code. The multi-agent support lets me run parallel AI agents across different tasks simultaneously — a genuine step up from Cursor.
🚀Software & Services
Linear
The best issue tracker I have used. Fast, keyboard-driven, and opinionated in all the right ways. Keeps the team focused on shipping.
Notion
My second brain for docs, meeting notes, and personal knowledge management. The flexible block system adapts to whatever I need to capture.
Figma
Even as an engineer, Figma is indispensable. I use it to inspect designs, prototype ideas, and collaborate with designers in real time.
Vercel
Zero-config deployments with instant preview URLs per pull request. The developer experience is unmatched for Next.js projects.
1Password
Secure credential management across devices. SSH key storage and the browser extension make authentication seamless without sacrificing security.
