Gear, apps, and little workflow comforts
A practical list of the hardware, software, and apps that power my day-to-day workflow. Not sponsored, just stuff I genuinely use and love.

Setup
The physical gear I reach for every day.
Laptop - ASUS ROG Strix G15 (Advantage Edition) 2022My daily driver for productivity and gaming.
Monitor - Dell 27" Gaming MonitorPerfect dual-purpose monitor for work and gaming with its QHD display w/ 165Hz refresh rate and vibrant colors.
Keyboard - Aula F87 ProComfortable for long coding sessions. If you're into keyboards, the keys sound thocky!
Mouse - Razer Basilisk V3 ProThis has honestly been the best mouse I've used for both work and gaming.
Headphones - Sony XM5Nothing comes close to the noise cancellation on these for focus.
Mic - HyperX SoloCastReally good budget mic I've used for streaming and recording.
- Earbuds - Airpods Pro 2
The noise cancellation, battery life and seamless Apple ecosystem integration make these my go-to earbuds for when I'm not using my Sony headphones.
- Tablet - iPad Air 11" M2
Great for taking notes in class, reading, and media consumption.
- Camera - Sony ZVE10
I've paired it with Tamron's 17-70mm f/2.8 for a versatile setup that works well for both close-up and wide angle shots.
Apps
Software that keeps the workflow moving.
- VS Code
My go-to code editor, nothing comes close.
- Cursor
I used to heavily use this until VS Code caught up with CoPilot's features (also cheaper). Still a great option for an AI-powered coding experience.
- Notion
For all my notes, docs, and project management. Been using it since 2021 and wish I'd started sooner. Only downside is that it doesn't support note taking with an Apple Pencil.
- Windows PowerToys
A must-have for any Windows power user. I have several macros setup that have saved me countless hours over the years.
- Wallpaper Engine
Having a dynamic, completely customizable wallpaper is such a game changer. There's thousands of wallpapers available through the Steam workshop to choose from, or you can make your own like I do!
