The software I use, the hardware I buy, and the things I do to stay productive.

Here’s a list of the tools I use to get my work done. I’m always looking for new things to try, so if you have any recommendations, please let me know!

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)

    I was using an Intel MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference is night and day. I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to an Intel machine.

  • LG 27” 4K

    I’ve been using this monitor for years and it’s still my favorite. The colors are great and the stand is super sturdy.

  • HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S

    The best keyboard I’ve ever used. I’ve tried a lot of different keyboards over the years but this one is the one I keep coming back to.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    The Magic Trackpad is a great trackpad. I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had any issues with it.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    I use VS Code for all of my projects. The extensions ecosystem is amazing and it extremely snappy on my machine.

  • iTerm2

    I’ve been using iTerm2 for quite a while now and I love it. I especially love the ability to have multiple tabs open in the same window.

  • TablePlus

    TablePlus is my favorite database client. It’s fast, it’s lightweight, and it has a great UI.

Productivity

  • Notion

    Notion is my go-to for all of my note taking and project management needs. I use it for everything from my daily notes to my personal wiki.

  • Insomnia

    Insomnia is my favorite API client. The UI is great and it’s extremely fast.
