Uses

A curated list of the hardware, software, and services I use daily to design, build, and train intelligent systems.

Hardware

HP Victus (Intel i7, RTX 3050)

Primary workhorse for ML development, model training, and 3D rendering.

External Monitor Setup

Dual screens for keeping code, terminals, and documentation visible.

Keychron Q1 Pro

Mechanical keyboard, custom switches for long typing sessions.

Logitech MX Master 3S

Ergonomic mouse for precision work in Blender and Figma.

Development

Cursor

AI-first code editor. Completely replaced VS Code for me.

Windows Terminal / WSL2

Linux environment on Windows for seamless ML workflows.

Docker

Essential for containerizing ML models and avoiding environment hell.

Postman / Insomnia

Testing REST APIs and checking endpoint latency.

AI / ML Tooling

Weights & Biases

The absolute best way to track training runs and hyperparameters.

Ollama

Running models locally. Dead simple CLI and API.

HuggingFace Hub

Where I source all models and datasets.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet

My daily driver for architectural brainstorming and complex coding tasks.

Productivity & Design

Notion

Second brain. Research notes, project planning, and daily tasks.

Figma

UI/UX mockups, diagrams, and vector assets before writing any frontend code.

Linear

Issue tracking that actually feels good to use.

PowerToys Run

Windows spotlight replacement for quick launching apps and executing scripts.
