Uses

Hardware, software, and tools I use daily to build and think. Inspired by uses.tech.

Hardware

Computing

//MacBook Pro 14" M5 Pro (2026)Primary machine. Fast enough that I've stopped thinking about performance.
//UGREEN RevoDok Max 213 · 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 4The desk hub. One cable docks the MacBook: dual 4K display, 90W charging, and every peripheral at once.

Display & Video

//Samsung LU28R550 · 28" 4K UHD3840×2160, 60Hz, HDR10, 99% sRGB.
//Dell S2722QC · 27" 4K UHDSecond display, rotated to portrait for long docs and code review. USB-C hub, 3840×2160, 60Hz.
//Aukey WebcamExternal webcam for calls, talks, and workshops.

Input

//Kinesis Freestyle EdgeSplit mechanical keyboard, Cherry MX Brown switches. Takes a week to adapt, worth it.
//Logitech MX VerticalErgonomic vertical mouse. Saved my wrist.

Audio

//Audio-Technica ATH-M50xProfessional monitor headphones. Daily driver for focus work and calls.
//Elgato Wave:3USB condenser mic, 24-bit/96kHz. For talks, podcasts, and remote meetings.

Workspace

//Flexispot E5 ProHeight-adjustable standing desk with memory presets.
//Secretlab Titan Evo 2022Chair with 4-way lumbar support. Long sessions, no back pain.

Sketching

//iPad Pro + Apple PencilFor sketching ideas, annotating, and thinking visually when the screen isn't enough.
//Paper & penStill the fastest way to think. Always on the desk.

Software

Editor & Terminal

//CursorPrimary code editor. Custom extensions, Vim keybindings.
//Claude CodeAI coding workflow. How this site was built. Changes how you think about development.
//iTerm2 + oh-my-zshTerminal setup. Unchanged for years, which means it works.

Browser & Productivity

//ArcMain browser. Spaces keep work and personal contexts separate.
//RaycastReplaced Spotlight. Launcher, clipboard history, snippets. Faster than I expected.
//1PasswordPassword manager. Non-negotiable, especially working in security.
//NotionNotes, docs, project tracking. Everything that isn't code.
//pgAdminCurrent PostgreSQL GUI. Looking for something better; suggestions welcome.

Design & Diagrams

//diagrams.netGo-to for architecture diagrams, flows, and system design sketches.

Git

//GitKrakenVisual Git client. GitKraken Ambassador. I use it for history and complex operations.
//CLI + GitLensFor day-to-day commits and quick operations. GitLens in Cursor for inline blame.
