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

Here's a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 13” MacBook Air, M2, 16GB RAM (2022)

    Solid performance, super lightweight, and all-day battery life. Never lets me down even with tons of tabs open — perfect for coding and working on the go.

  • Huawei MateBook D14 Ryzen 7 (2020)

    Still my reliable second machine. Great keyboard, solid performance — but when I’m in clamshell mode, I really miss those trackpad gestures.

  • Mi Desktop Monitor 27”

    Crisp display and just the right size for long work sessions. Especially helpful when working with Figma or comparing layouts side by side.

  • Logitech Signature M650

    Silent clicks, super comfy to hold, and the color matches my keyboard perfectly. Simple but solid mouse for everyday use.

  • Noir Timeless82 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

    The tactile sound is just satisfying. Stylish and functional, especially if you like a clean and minimal setup.

  • Huawei MatePad 11.5” Paper Mate

    I mostly use it for writing, journaling, brain-dumping, and sketching random ideas. It feels great to write on, and having a dedicated space to just think and scribble really helps me focus.

  • Soundcore R50i

    If I’m going to sit in the worst ergonomic position all day, I might as well enjoy some decent sound while doing it.

Software

  • Visual Studio Code

    Lightweight, customizable, and doesn’t make my fan scream like WebStorm used to. Tons of great extensions — definitely my main code editor.

  • Termius

    My go-to for SSH into servers. Clean UI and the auto-reconnect feature has saved me more times than I can count.

  • DBeaver

    A must-have SQL client for managing Laravel databases. Multi-tab support, export/import, and handles multiple DB types easily.

  • Figma

    Not a designer, but Figma helps me mock up interfaces fast and test ideas visually. Auto layout is such a game changer.

  • Obsidian

    Where all my notes and ideas live. Each project gets its own vault — perfect for organizing tasks, thoughts, and random brain dumps.

  • Raycast

    Like Alfred, but cooler and free. I use it to launch apps, search docs, and run terminal commands instantly. Can’t imagine working without it.

  • Bitwarden

    Open source and secure. Syncs smoothly between devices and autofill just works. One less thing to worry about.

  • Postman

    Essential for API development. Testing requests, documenting endpoints, and managing workflows — all in one place.

  • Docker Desktop

    Makes managing development environments so much easier. Clean, isolated, and ready to go with just a few commands.
