My setup

Tools I use

A practical inventory of hardware, software, services, and desk gear that supports my everyday work.

15 items

Best-in-class hardware and camera systems that deliver consistent reliability. It excels in execution speed and provides the most efficient workflow within the iOS ecosystem whenever high-performance mobile computing is required. It just works.

iPhone 17 ProOpen item

These are my go-to for staying in the zone. The noise canceling is a lifesaver on the underground metro—it completely cuts out the world when I need to focus on code. Whenever I need to get things done without distractions, I just put these on and it's instant silence.

AirPods Pro 3Open item

This keyboard is all about the feel. It uses magnetic switches, so I can actually adjust exactly how deep I have to press the keys to make them register. It’s heavy, stays exactly where I put it on the desk, and gives me that perfect "thocky" sound that makes long coding sessions actually enjoyable.

Keychron K2 HEOpen item

This is my go-to for high-level architectural logic and quick prototyping. I use it as a force multiplier to handle the boilerplate and repetitive logic, allowing me to focus on the actual engineering and problem-solving aspects of a project.

ChatGPT (Codex)Open item

My primary environment for everything from web dev to game scripts. I keep it lean with a few essential extensions so it stays fast. It’s the hub where all my projects come together, and its flexibility is why I haven’t switched to anything else.

VSC

These are my go-to choice when I want to step up my audio game. They’re wired, so I never have to stress about battery life or audio lag. The sound is incredibly detailed with a really satisfying punch, and the ergonomic shape fits comfortably, making them an absolute powerhouse for getting lost in my music while I work.

KZ ZS10 Pro XOpen item

I use Ollama to serve high-context models (up to 38k tokens) locally, paired with the Continue extension in VS Code. This setup gives me a private, low-latency AI pair programmer that actually understands my entire codebase. It’s perfect for complex refactoring and deep architectural analysis without my data ever leaving my machine.

Local AI (Ollama & Continue)

This is my main rig, built to handle everything I throw at it. With the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 64GB of fast RAM, it crushes large projects and heavy IDEs without breaking a sweat. The RTX 4070 Ti is a beast for my creative work in After Effects and Blender, but it's also essential for running local AI models and hardware-accelerated development. It’s the engine behind everything I do.

Custom Built Workstation

This chair is built for those long development grinds. It has a synchro-tilt mechanism and adjustable lumbar support that actually protects my back when I’m sitting for hours. The mesh back keeps things cool, and the adjustable arms and headrest mean I can dial it in exactly to my height. It’s solid, ergonomic, and keeps me comfortable while I stay focused.

ErgoAction Active Office ChairOpen item

This is a super lightweight wireless mouse that I use for everything. The Nearlink technology makes the connection feel as stable as a wired mouse, and the 18,000 DPI sensor is extremely precise. It’s simple, fast, and exactly what I need for both fast-paced gaming and long hours of navigating through code.

ATK VXE R1 NearlinkOpen item

I run two of these QHD panels at 180Hz for the ultimate workflow. One is in a standard horizontal layout, while the other is in portrait mode—which is perfect for reading through endless lines of code and documentation without constant scrolling. The speed and clarity make everything feel incredibly smooth. Color accuracy is also nice!

Xiaomi G27Qi IPS Gaming Monitor (x2)Open item

I built this setup using a 160x80 white Trotten tabletop supported by Alex drawer units. It’s the perfect height for long coding sessions and gives me a massive surface to work on. Having the drawers as the desk legs keeps my workspace completely clutter-free, so I can keep my focus entirely on the screens.

IKEA Trotten / Alex Drawer Desk (160x80)

These are my backup for when I’m not using my AirPods. They’re wired, so I never have to worry about battery life or latency. The sound is sharp and they fit perfectly, making them a solid, reliable choice for long hours of listening while I work.

KZ ZSN Pro XOpen item

This is a compact, no-nonsense mic that sounds great without taking up half my desk. It’s perfect for clear communication during meetings or voice-overs for projects. The tap-to-mute sensor on top is a life saver—it's simple, reliable, and exactly what I need for a clean audio setup.

HyperX SoloCast 2Open item

This is my go-to controller for gaming and testing. The Hall Effect triggers and sticks mean I never have to worry about stick drift, and the Green Edition looks great on the desk. It’s responsive, feels solid in the hand, and connects instantly to my PC whenever I need a break or want to test controller support for a project.
