The tools && apps I keep in my toolbox.
Spine for research
Every rabbit hole starts here. Spine digs through papers, articles, and docs, then hands me a report I can actually build on.
Claude Code for building
My pair programmer for everything from RAG prototypes to this very website. I describe the idea, we iterate until it ships.
Obsidian as my second brain
Random thoughts, blog drafts, and ideas scribbled while music plays all land here, linked together until they turn into something.
Claude Design for design experiments
Where I play with layouts and visual ideas before writing any code. It scratches the same creative itch as sketching.
Google AI Studio for prototyping
The quickest way to test a prompt or a Gemini model on a new idea before committing to a full build.
Python & Jupyter for the data
Under all the AI tooling, the real work still happens here: exploring datasets, training models, and finding the story in the numbers.
MacBook Air M4
My everyday machine for code, data, and writing. Light enough to go everywhere.
iPhone 18 Pro
I love taking photos, and this is the camera that's always in my pocket.
AirPods
My way to get lost in music, whether I'm deep in a dataset or just out for a walk.
Apple Watch Series 10
Keeps me on time, on track, and reminds me to stand up after long coding sessions.
Sketchbook & pencils
Always within reach for sketching whatever catches my eye. Some of it ends up in my sketchbook on this site.
Coffee (or a Coke)
The fuel behind most of my ideas. Morning coffee to start, a Coke when the afternoon needs a push.
