Uses

A curated manifest of the hardware, software, and everyday carry that I use to design and build products.

01. Hardware

My Workstation

I believe in a setup that is both powerful and expressive. My workflow is anchored by an ASUS TUF F15, a machine built for raw endurance and high-end performance, paired with the iconic Nothing Phone 3a—a device that embodies my philosophy of technical transparency and minimal design.

02. Software

Dev Tools

A highly optimized, blazingly fast software stack. I rely heavily on VS Code/Cursor for primary development, Arc for fluid browsing, and an ensemble of productivity tools like Raycast and Obsidian. My digital workspace is strictly curated. If an app doesn't serve a critical function or sparks joy with its UI, it doesn't stay.
