Gear

The tools and equipment I use daily. Updated as things change.

Hardware

MacBook Pro 16"

M3 Max, 64GB RAM. Primary development machine. Handles everything from code to video editing without breaking a sweat.

Studio Display

Apple Studio Display. Clean, sharp, and pairs perfectly with the laptop in clamshell mode.

Sony WH-1000XM5

Noise-cancelling headphones. Essential for deep work sessions in cafés and co-working spaces.

Development

VS Code

Primary editor. Minimal extensions: Prettier, ESLint, GitHub Copilot. Dark theme, distraction-free.

iTerm2 + zsh

Terminal of choice. Custom prompt with git branch, minimal aliases, and tmux for session management.

GitHub

Source control, CI/CD, and project management. Everything lives in Git.

Productivity

Obsidian

Second brain. Markdown-based, local-first, and endlessly extensible. Daily notes, project logs, and idea capture.

Linear

Issue tracking for product work. Fast, opinionated, and beautifully designed.

Raycast

Launcher and productivity tool. Clipboard history, snippets, window management — all from the keyboard.

Note-Taking

Leuchtturm1917 A5

Dotted notebook for sketching ideas, diagrams, and morning journaling. Analog thinking clears the mind.

Lamy Safari

Fountain pen. The act of writing by hand forces slower, more deliberate thinking.
