Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Here's my current setup for development, design, and productivity.

Workstation

  • 24” iMac, Apple M4, 32GB RAM (2024)

    A beautiful and powerful all-in-one desktop that's perfect for development. The M4 chip provides excellent performance for running multiple development environments and tools simultaneously, while the built-in 4.5K Retina display offers stunning visual clarity.

  • Studio Display

    A 5K retina display that provides the perfect balance of screen real estate and pixel density for both development and design work. The built-in camera and speakers make it great for remote collaboration.

Development tools

  • Cursor

    My primary code editor with custom extensions for AI assistance. Cursor for when I need enhanced AI pair programming capabilities. The integration with GitHub Copilot and custom AI tools makes development significantly faster.

  • Vercel

    The deployment platform of choice for all my web projects.

Design

  • Figma

    The foundation of my design workflow. Use it not just for UI design but also for creating design systems and prototyping. The new dev mode and AI features make the design-to-code workflow much smoother.

AI Tools

  • TypingMind

    The best AI wrapper I've found.

  • Ollama

    Local AI model runner that lets me run various open-source models like Llama and Mistral directly on my machine.

Productivity

  • Notion

    My second brain for documentation, notes, and project planning. The AI features and database capabilities make it perfect for organizing both personal and professional work.

  • Things

    For personal task management and daily planning. The clean interface and powerful organization features help me stay focused and productive.
