Uses
The tools I actually use.
Hardware, software, and small things that make the work easier. Updated as things change.
- 01HardwareWindows workstation, multi-monitor setup, mechanical keyboard with brown switches, wireless mouse, and a rotating cast of external drives for backup experiments.
- 02Editors & terminalsVS Code for anything web or scripted. Windows Terminal with PowerShell 7. Claude Code and Gemini for pairing. Git for version control, no fancy workflow — just commits that make sense.
- 03EngineeringSAP for material data. ABViewer for CAD. Solidworks, SketchUp, 3D Builder and FreeCAD for 3D work. Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator for graphics. Microsoft Office for everything else that needs a document.
- 04Languages & frameworksC · C++ · C# · Python · PowerShell. Comfortable with Unity 2D/3D. Learning whatever the current project actually requires.
- 05AI & automationGemini API for most LLM work. Claude for pairing and long-context reasoning. PowerShell for anything that has to run twice. Cloudflare Workers for small pieces of infrastructure that need to live at the edge.
- 06This siteStatic HTML, one stylesheet, one small script. Generated from a single PowerShell block. Hosted on Cloudflare Pages. No frameworks, no build step, no dependencies. That's the point.
