What I Use
Hardware and accessories I rely on daily as a Solution Architect. I’ll keep this updated as things change.
Computer
MacBook Pro 14" (M3 Pro) My primary machine. Fast, quiet, and the battery life is exceptional. The M3 Pro chip handles anything I throw at it — local builds, Docker, video calls — without breaking a sweat.
Audio
Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones Best noise-cancelling headphones I’ve owned. Essential for deep work in noisy environments or on calls. The ANC is good enough to make an open office feel like a private room.
Blue Yeti USB Microphone Clear, warm audio for calls and recordings. A good microphone makes a bigger difference to how professional you sound than most people realise.
Accessories
Logitech MX Keys Keyboard Quiet, comfortable typing with smart backlighting. Multi-device switching between Mac and iPad is seamless.
Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse The horizontal scroll wheel alone is worth it for wide spreadsheets and code files. Precise, ergonomic, and the battery lasts for months.
Samsung 27" 4K Monitor Paired with the MacBook in clamshell mode for a proper dual-display setup when at the desk.
Software
Apps I use daily: Things 3, iTerm2, VS Code, Raycast, CleanShot X, Notion, 1Password, Mimestream.
