Software and hardware I use daily. These tools help me stay productive, creative, and organized.

Productivity

My second brain. I use it for project management, note-taking, and knowledge bases.

Version control and collaboration. Essential for any dev work.

Modern terminal with AI and team features. Game changer.

Team communication. I keep notifications minimal to stay focused.

Issue tracking that doesn't suck. Beautiful, fast, and opinionated.

Video calls. Reliable, good quality, everyone has it.

Design and prototyping. I use it for everything from wireframes to final designs.

Photo editing when I need more power than Figma provides.

Mechanical keyboard. Tactile, customizable, satisfying to type on.

Noise cancellation for focus, transparency for awareness.
