Hardware, software, and utilities

TOOLS OFTHE TRADE.

The setup behind the code, sound, games, and ideas. Some tools improve the work. Others simply make the desk more interesting.

01Hardware

THE
WORKSTATION.

A Windows setup built to move between development, music, streaming, and games without changing rooms.

  1. 01

    Custom PC

    Built in 2022

    Intel Core i9 12900KF, 64 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. Built for development, music, games, streaming, and creative work.

  2. 02

    AOC Agon AG271UG

    Primary display

    A 27 inch 4K display with G Sync. It handles the main workspace and keeps games sharp and responsive.

  3. 03

    Two AOC Gaming 24G2S displays

    Side displays

    Two 24 inch frameless monitors mounted vertically for chat, reference material, system information, and everything that supports the main task.

  4. 04

    Dell 17 inch display

    Utility screen

    A compact extra display that earns its place by keeping one more useful window visible.

  5. 05

    Herman Miller and Logitech G Embody

    Chair

    A very good chair for the many hours spent writing code, making music, and sitting in positions no ergonomist would approve of.

02

DEVELOPMENT

The core environment for turning an idea into working software.

  1. 01

    Visual Studio Code

    Editor

    The center of my development workflow. It stays fast, adapts to different projects, and has an extension for nearly every job.

  2. 02

    Hyper

    Terminal

    A customizable terminal built with web technologies. It gives command line work a clean home that fits the rest of my setup.

  3. 03

    GitKraken

    Version control

    A visual view of Git history, branches, and conflicts that makes complex repository work easier to understand at a glance.

  4. 04

    Windows Subsystem for Linux

    Runtime

    Linux tools alongside Windows applications. It gives me the flexibility to build and test across platforms without leaving my main environment.

03

DESIGN

A focused place to shape interfaces before they become code.

  1. 01

    Figma

    Interface design

    My main space for interface design, prototypes, reusable systems, and collaborative feedback.

04

PRODUCTIVITY

Small utilities that make Windows work more like I expect it to.

  1. 01

    Microsoft PowerToys

    System utilities

    FancyZones, quick launch tools, keyboard helpers, and other practical improvements that reduce friction throughout the day.

One honest caveat

THE SETUP IS
NEVER FINISHED.

This is a working snapshot. Tools stay only while they remain useful, enjoyable, or difficult to replace.
