My toolkit

Uses

The gear and software I rely on to build, write, and ship. Inspired by /uses.

PC Setup

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core CPU — fast, efficient, plenty for builds.
  • NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti Handles local AI workloads and the occasional game.
  • 64GB DDR5 Because browsers, containers, and editors are hungry.
  • Samsung 990 EVO NVMe SSD — near-instant boot and build times.

Development Stack

  • VS Code Daily driver, lightly themed, heavily extended.
  • TypeScript Strict mode everywhere. Types are documentation.
  • Astro + React Content-first sites and app UIs.
  • Node.js + Bun Runtime and tooling for everything JS.
  • PostgreSQL The default database until proven otherwise.
  • Vercel + Cloudflare Ship to the edge, cache aggressively.

Software

  • Figma Design, prototyping, and quick mockups.
  • Obsidian Notes, ideas, and the digital garden seedbed.
  • Raycast Launcher, clipboard history, and snippets.

  • Cursor AI-native editor for fast iteration.
  • GitHub Copilot Autocomplete that occasionally reads my mind.
