Tools. Apps. Gear.

Here's a comprehensive list of my favorite tools and equipment. I keep this page regularly updated to reflect my current setup and workflow.

Desk

MacBook Air (13", 2023) - The M3 chip is amazing. Plus, 16 GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Anker USB C Hub - All in one hub. Makes up for the lack of ports on the MacBook Air.
Samsung 27" LED-lit Monitor - I've had this for years. It's great for coding.
ViewSonic 15.6" Portable Monitor - Extra screen real estate when I'm on the go.
Nulaxy Laptop Stand - Sturdy and ergonomic stand that keeps my screen at the perfect height.
Ikea Bekant Desk - Two of them, in an L shape. Nothing fancy, but it works.
Ikea Millberget Chair - I should invest in a better chair.

VSCode - After using Sublime and Atom for many years, I moved to VSCode like everybody else.
IntelliJ IDEA - My primary IDE for Java development with powerful features and plugins.
Cursor - Makes me feel like I have a very smart rubber duck watching over my shoulder.
Oh My ZSH - A collection of ZSH plugins that you install once and you're ready to go.
Fig - Super cool app that adds VSCode-style autocomplete to your existing terminal

Bitwarden - The first thing I install on any new device.
Raycast - My favorite Spotlight replacement (for now). Will try Alfred next.
Caffeine - Keeps my Mac from going to sleep when I'm away from it.
Figma - I never thought something would replace the Adobe suite for me. Figma did.
Notion - My personal OS with all the notes from all my projects.
Postman - Makes API development so much easier.
TunnelBear - Wonderful VPN app that I use to access content from other countries.

Cloudflare - The DNS service I use with all my domains. Amazing product.
Supabase - A no-brainer database and auth solution for side projects.
Namecheap - I buy and renew all my domains here.
Vercel - Here is where I host all my websites. By far the best developer experience.

Wealthsimple - My go-to platform for trading stocks and options. Love their clean interface.
Yahoo Finance - For tracking portfolio performance and doing market research.
TradingView - The most comprehensive charting platform with real-time data, technical indicators, for analyzing financial markets.

Physical Books - Nothing beats the feel and smell of physical books. I prefer paperback because they're easier to carry around.
Audible - The perfect choice to listen to a book while running outside.
