The tools, hardware, software, and workflows I use daily as a Tech Generalist and Solopreneur.
This is a living document — my toolkit evolves constantly as I discover better tools and workflows.
Primary development machine. Handles everything from full-stack dev to AI model training with ease.
External display for extended desktop. Essential for comparing designs and reviewing code side-by-side.
Mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable switches. Makes long coding sessions comfortable and satisfying.
Ergonomic mouse with infinite scroll. The horizontal wheel is perfect for navigating wide codebases.
Active noise cancellation for deep focus work. Great for coding in noisy environments.
Version control and collaboration. Every project starts with a Git repo.
Preferred stack for full-stack web development with type safety and great DX.
Utility-first CSS for rapid, consistent UI development without context switching.
Deployment platform of choice. Zero-config deploys with preview environments.
Containerization for consistent development and deployment environments.
Task automation and build orchestration for repetitive development workflows.
AI assistants for code review, brainstorming, documentation, and complex problem-solving.
Framework for building AI-powered applications with chains, agents, and RAG pipelines.
Model Context Protocol for integrating AI with external tools and data sources.
Python framework for building high-performance AI APIs and microservices.
Data framework for connecting AI models with custom data sources and knowledge bases.
Central command center for tracking projects, goals, habits, and daily operations.
Time blocking and scheduling for managing multiple projects and client work.
Quick capture for tasks and ideas. Inbox-zero approach to task management.
Journaling and daily reflection for continuous improvement and learning tracking.
Productivity launcher for quick access to tools, scripts, and system controls.
My toolkit is never finished
I'm constantly exploring new tools and workflows. If you have a recommendation, I'd love to hear about it.
