Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
I often get asked about the tools and setup I use to build software and stay productive. Here's a comprehensive list of the hardware, software, and tools that power my daily workflow.
Workstation
15” MacBook Pro, M4 Pro, 48GB RAM
I was using an Intel-based MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference is night and day. I’ve never heard the fans turn on a single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads.
Apple Studio Display (Standard Glass)
A fantastic HiDPI display that pairs perfectly with the MacBook. The color accuracy and build quality make it ideal for both development and design work.
Apple Magic Keyboard (Touch ID)
Clean, minimal design that doesn't take up much desk space. Touch ID integration makes authentication seamless throughout the day.
Apple Magic Trackpad
Precise gestures and smooth scrolling make navigation effortless. Perfect for multitasking and switching between workspaces quickly.
