The tools I actually use.

Windows workstation, multi-monitor setup, mechanical keyboard with brown switches, wireless mouse, and a rotating cast of external drives for backup experiments.

VS 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.

SAP 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.

C · C++ · C# · Python · PowerShell. Comfortable with Unity 2D/3D. Learning whatever the current project actually requires.

Gemini 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.

Static 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.
