Figma

Design tool

Where I live most of my day. UI design, prototyping, design systems, design tokens — everything starts here before it becomes code.

Mobbin

Reference library

My go-to for pattern research. When I'm designing a new flow, I check how other products solved the same problem before reinventing the wheel.

Pixelmator Pro

Image editor

Quick image editing, asset preparation, and photo work. Lightweight and fast — does everything I need without the Photoshop overhead.

Affinity

Design suite

For vector work, print design, and anything Figma isn't built for. Designer, Photo, and Publisher cover the gaps.

React

UI library

How I build component-level UI. I write the markup, structure, and styling — and use AI tools for complex logic when needed.

Next.js

Web framework

My go-to for production-grade products. Server-side rendering, API routes, and a component architecture that plays well with design systems.

Astro

Static site generator

What this website is built with. I also use it for lightweight side projects and documentation sites — fast, minimal JavaScript, and easy to maintain.

Storybook

Component workshop

Where I document and test the design system components I build. The single source of truth between my Figma files and production code.

Mastra

AI framework

Using it to build AI agents and RAG systems. My current deep dive into AI infrastructure — designing and wiring up agentic workflows.

Sanity

Headless CMS

Structured content that feeds into the frontend. I use it for content modeling and keeping editorial workflows out of the codebase.

Vercel

Deployment platform

Where I deploy Next.js and Astro projects. Preview deployments for every PR make it easy to review UI changes before they go live.

PostHog

Analytics

Product analytics, A/B testing, session recordings, and feature flags. I use it to validate design decisions with real data instead of guessing.

Zed

Code editor

My primary editor. Blazingly fast, native AI integration, and built in Rust. Nothing else feels this responsive.

VS Code

Code editor

Still useful for its extension ecosystem. I reach for it when I need something Zed doesn't support yet.

WebStorm

JavaScript IDE

A JetBrains IDE with deep JavaScript and TypeScript intelligence. I use it when I need heavier refactoring or debugging tools.

Ghostty

Terminal emulator

Fast, GPU-accelerated terminal. Clean, minimal, and stays out of the way — which is all I want from a terminal.

GitHub

Version control

All my code lives here. PRs, code review, CI — the backbone of how I collaborate with engineering.

Helium

Browser

Privacy-first, open-source Chromium browser. Ad-blocking and tracker-blocking by default, split view, and a clean UI that stays out of the way.

Claude

AI assistant

My main AI tool. I use Claude for everything — writing, planning, code generation, and I've built custom prompts and Claude Code plugins to speed up my workflow.

Codex

AI coding agent

OpenAI's coding agent. I use it alongside Claude Code as a second opinion and for tasks where a different model perspective helps.

Raycast

Launcher + AI

My macOS command center. Quick calculations, snippets, clipboard history, and AI chat without leaving the keyboard.

Granola

AI note-taking

Turns messy meeting notes into structured summaries automatically. Saves me from splitting attention between listening and writing.
