What I Use

The tools, technologies, and hardware I rely on to build software. Nothing fancy — just what works.

01Frontend

React / Next.js

My primary framework. I use the App Router with Server Components for most web projects.

TypeScript

On everything. The upfront cost pays for itself immediately.

Tailwind CSS

Fast, composable, and plays well with component libraries. I don't miss writing CSS files.

React Native / Expo

For mobile apps. Expo's managed workflow handles 90% of the native complexity.

02Backend & Data

Node.js

Runtime for APIs and server-side logic. Pairs naturally with the TypeScript frontend stack.

PostgreSQL

My go-to database. Rock-solid, well-documented, and scales further than most projects need.

Vercel

Deploy target for most projects. Zero-config Next.js hosting with good preview deployments.

03Editor & Terminal

VS Code

Daily driver with Vim keybindings. Extensions: ESLint, Prettier, Tailwind IntelliSense, GitHub Copilot.

iTerm2 + zsh

Terminal setup with Oh My Zsh, custom aliases, and Starship prompt.

Git

CLI-first workflow. Small, frequent commits. Interactive rebase when needed.

04Design & Productivity

Figma

For design references and component specs. I can go from Figma to code quickly.

Linear

Issue tracking when working with teams. Clean, fast, keyboard-driven.

Notion

Personal knowledge base and project planning.

05Hardware

MacBook Pro 14″

M-series chip. Fast builds, great battery, handles everything I throw at it.

Dual monitors

Code on one, browser/docs on the other. Simple but effective.
