my setup
the tools and equipment I use daily
Main Setup
Macbook Pro
My machine of choice over the years for engineering.
HHKB Professional Hybrid
My favorite keyboard for coding, that I've re-mapped using Kanata.
MX Vertical
Ergonomic mouse for wrist comfort during long coding sessions.
iPad Pro
To draw architectural diagrams and flowcharts during calls with clients and colleagues.
Workspace
Standing Desk
Made to order 200x80cm table, made from scaffolding boards. It probably does not get as much use as it should, but when it does, my back has thanked me!
Secret Lab Titan Chair
Quite comfortable, but I'm always keeping an eye out for more comfort as I am always working far longer than the typical 9-5.
Audio
Shure SM7B Microphone
I have yet to debut in my voiceover career, but for the time being this works great for calls!
Wave XLR interface
Audio interface for the microphone, it also helps me quickly toggle mute no matter what tab (out of the many!) I am on!
Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones
Noise-cancelling headphones for focus and great audio quality.
Software
Cursor
My current go-to IDE, used in conjunction with multiple LLMs to help speed up development.
Obsidian
My notes app of choice, organised into a knowledge base using the Zettelkasten system with many plugins, I use it as a second brain.
Arc
The browser I use, to keep all my projects separated amongst workspaces.
Terminal
I use zsh as my shell, tmux for managing multiple panes and neovim as my secondary text editor and starship as my prompt, all nicely integrated into iTerm as my terminal.
