What I Use
A living document of the tools, hardware, and services that power my work and hobbies. Inspired by uses.tech.
Software
06The tools I use daily for coding, creating, and staying productive.
Hardware
07The physical tools and gear I use every day.
MacBook Pro 14" M1 Max
My trusty workhorse for the past few years. The M1 Max chip handles everything I throw at it, from heavy coding sessions to video editing, without breaking a sweat. The battery life is still absolutely incredible.
ComputerHHKB Professional 2 Type-S
My current daily driver for keyboard. The 60% layout is compact, the keycaps and Topre switches feel amazing to type on, and the overall build quality is top-tier.
PeripheralsRicoh GR IIIx & GR IV
My go-to cameras for travel and daily street photography. Both cameras are incredibly compact, and the image quality is stunning for their size. The GR IV's improved autofocus and screen are noticeable upgrades from the GR IIIx, but both excel at quick, unobtrusive shooting.
CameraApple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
Noise canceling for deep focus sessions. Non-negotiable.
AudioAcer Predator X34A
Ultrawide gaming monitor with IPS panel and 100Hz refresh rate. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
DisplayIK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor Speaker
Incredible studio monitors for their size and price. They pack a punch and deliver clear audio for music listening and content creation.
AudioLogitech MX Master 3S
The best mouse for productivity. Period.
PeripheralsHomelab
07My self-hosted infrastructure for learning, experimenting, and running services.
K3s
Lightweight Kubernetes distribution for running containers and VMs. Rock solid.
VirtualizationTerraform + Flux CD
Infrastructure as Code for Kubernetes. Using Terraform to provision clusters and Flux CD to manage workloads and configurations.
Infrastructure as CodeSynology DS218+
Network attached storage for my homelab. 12TB of replicated storage across 2 drives.
StorageRaspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM
Running my homelab at a fraction of the cost and power usage of a traditional x86 server. I currently have three Raspberry Pi 5s with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB NVMe drive each, running a K3s cluster.
ComputeBouldering & Climbing
04Gear and resources for my climbing obsession, indoors and out.
Tenaya Oasi
My go-to climbing shoes. They feature an aggressive downturn that dominates on overhangs, yet they are surprisingly incredible on slabs too. They genuinely wear like comfortable slippers right out of the box.
ShoesButora Chalk Bag
Super lightweight chalk bag. Easy to clip on and off. A bit small for a big chalking session.
ChalkPetzl GriGri 2
My trusty belay device for top-rope and lead climbing.
Belay DeviceBlack Diamond Momentum 4S Harness
Lightweight sport climbing harness for gym lead and outdoor routes.
