Uses
Last updated : 04/07/2026
The tools, devices, and services I use every day for development and productivity. I don't get asked about my setup very often, but I thought I'd put everything together here in case you're curious. These are simply the tools I personally enjoy using and feel most comfortable with—they're not necessarily the best, just the ones that work well for me. It also serves as a handy personal checklist that I can come back to whenever I need it.
