Workstation

  • 14” MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 32GB RAM (14-inch, 2021)

    While I may not be a gearhead, I'm constantly amazed by how effortlessly it handles everything I throw at it. I feel incredibly lucky to have this tool in my arsenal and can't imagine getting my work done without it.

  • LG 4K Monitor 32” UHD LED Display

    This big guy provides me with all the screen real estate I need to get my work done efficiently. Plus, I have it mounted on an Ergotron – LX Single Monitor Arm, which means I can easily adjust the height and angle to suit my preferences.

  • Logitech ERGO K860 Wireless Split Keyboard

    With its ergonomic design, it's like a custom fit for my hands. It's not too flat, not too split - it's just right. And the keys? They feel like butter. Typing has never been so smooth and effortless.

  • Capisco Chair by HÅG

    While I try to stand at my desk as much as possible, I can't resist the comfort and versatility this beauty provides. Its sleek design is easy on the eyes, making it a perfect fit for my workspace.

  • AirPods Pro 2

    My AirPods Pro 2 have been a game changer for me. These AirPods are so comfortable that I can wear them all day long for calls, meetings, and even when I'm deep in coding mode with some low-volume white noise in the background. It's the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and quality sound that I didn't even know I needed until I tried them out.

Development tools

  • Webstorm by JetBrains

    I owe a lot to my friend who introduced me to WebStorm - this IDE has truly become my coding companion. From the moment I opened it, I was hooked. The smooth performance and lightning-fast responsiveness blew me away, especially after experiencing lag issues with other IDEs. The refactor/renaming tools in WebStorm make code maintenance a breeze, saving me precious time and energy.

  • DankMono typeface

    Dank Mono is the typeface I use in my IDE and it's honestly a game changer. The font is easy on the eyes and the ligatures are a nice touch. It makes coding a more enjoyable experience. Overall, Dank Mono is a great choice for anyone looking for a stylish and functional typeface in their IDE.

  • Github Desktop

    Even though I know how to use Git from the command line, I find that the Desktop interface gives me more confidence and visual clarity when performing Git operations. It's especially useful for reviewing changes and committing code. Plus, it's user-friendly and saves me time compared to typing out every command.

Design

  • Figma

    Figma is my go-to tool for designing and prototyping. As a web-based platform, it's easy to collaborate with team members and clients, and I love that I can access my designs from any device with an internet connection. Plus, Figma's built-in prototyping capabilities make it easy to create interactive mockups and get feedback quickly.

Productivity

  • Horo

    Horo is my go-to countdown timer app for Mac. It's a simple and free tool that lives in the menu bar, so I can easily set timers for work sprints or breaks. I especially love using it for those days when I'm feeling particularly scatterbrained - setting a timer helps me stay focused and accomplish my tasks without getting sidetracked.

  • Mac Notes App

    When it comes to taking notes, I've tried them all – Evernote, Google Keep, OneNote, you name it. But eventually, I found myself gravitating back to the good old-fashioned Notes app on my Mac. It's simple, reliable, and gets the job done without any fuss. Plus, I love the integration with iCloud, so my notes are always synced across all my devices. Whether I'm jotting down a quick idea or outlining a new project, the Mac Notes app has become my go-to tool.
