Uses

Here are some software programs I find useful, gadgets I’m particularly fond of, and other recommendations I have.

People often ask me about the tools and products I use to develop software, stay productive, or distract myself from procrastinating. So, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all my favorite things.

Workstation setup

Macbook Pro 14-inch

I’ve been using a 14-inch MacBook Pro as my primary work and personal machine for the past few years. It’s a powerful and reliable laptop that can handle all of my daily tasks, from software development to Salesforce. I love the Retina display, the comfortable keyboard, and the long battery life. It’s the perfect tool for my work.

iPhone 15 Pro

My daily driver for communication, productivity, and entertainment. I use it to stay connected, manage my schedule, and access information on the go.

DROP ALT Keyboard

A compact and customizable mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable switches, RGB lighting, and a sleek aluminum frame. I love the tactile feel of the keys and the ability to customize the layout and keycaps to suit my preferences.

MX Master 3 Mouse

A comfortable and ergonomic mouse with customizable buttons and a high-precision sensor. It’s great for long hours of work and allows me to navigate my screen with ease.

Developer Tools

VS Code

A popular and versatile text editor with extensive customization options and an extensive library of plugins and extensions.

Alacritty

A terminal emulator with a focus on simplicity and performance, written in Rust and designed for power users who prefer keyboard shortcuts and minimalistic design.

Postgres

I live and breathe Postgres. It’s my go-to database for all my projects, from small personal apps to large enterprise applications. I love its reliability, scalability, and extensibility, and I appreciate the rich ecosystem of tools and libraries that support it.

Productivity

Raycast

An application launcher that allows you to search, navigate and manage files and contacts on your Mac more efficiently.

A fast and efficient email client that helps you manage your inbox more effectively with features like keyboard shortcuts, read statuses, and scheduled emails.
