Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating 😂. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • OMEN 45L, NVIDIA® GeForce 4090, Core i9-13, 64GB DDR5 RAM

    I was using a Dell G3 GeForce 1050 prior to this and the difference is night and day. I’ve never heard the fans turn on a single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads I put it through with our various launch simulations.

  • Samsung Odyssey 4K Ark Monitor

    Featuring 4K resolution, 165Hz refresh, 1ms response this display puts you in the action like nothing else. Curved to match the human eye and minimize strain so you can get lost in whatever world you call home.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    The best all in one code editor on the internet. Add some extensions and it will become unstoppable. The best part is its 100% free.

  • Notepad

    For some reason I always find myself opening the notepad app to do simple text manipulations. It might be plain and not fancy but I love it

Design

  • Figma

    I was an AdobeXD fan until Adobe decided to buy Figma and drop XD. I was mad for a while but I'm coming to realize it was a good decision because Figma has improved my design experienc a lot

Productivity

  • Google Workspace

    Google has everything I need from Google Calender to Google Docs I find myself in check with my tasks and goals
