What I use

The daily-driver stack — editor, terminal, hardware, languages, music, reading. Updated when things actually change.

01Editor & terminal

Visual Studio Code — primary editor; Vim keybindings via VSCodeVim
Cursor — for AI pair-programming on green-field work
iTerm2 + zsh + oh-my-zsh — with Starship prompt
tmux — split-pane multiplexing
JetBrains Mono — ligatures on; editor + terminal + this site

02Languages & frameworks

Rust — Axum for HTTP, Tokio for async, Rayon for parallel
TypeScript — Node, Next.js, the occasional CLI
Solana + Anchor — smart contracts and on-chain primitives
Circom + snarkjs — Groth16 circuits for ZK work
PostgreSQL — primary database; Prisma when the team uses it

03Daily software

Arc — primary browser
1Password — secrets & SSH key management
Linear — issue tracking at Umbra Privacy
Obsidian — personal notes and second brain
Raycast — spotlight replacement + clipboard history
Spotify — playlists at the end of this page

04Cloud & infra

AWS — IAM/KMS-scoped roles, Lambda, S3, attested compute
Vercel — this portfolio + most frontend deploys
Cloudflare — DNS, Workers, Pages
Upstash — Redis REST endpoint (this site's visit counter)
Helius — Solana RPC + webhooks for the indexer SDK

05Hardware

MacBook Pro (M-series) — the everyday workhorse
External 27" display — vertical for code, horizontal for docs
Logitech MX Master 3S — side-button macros wired to tmux
Mechanical keyboard — tactile switches, ortho-ish layout
Over-ear ANC headphones — for deep work

06Music while coding

Lo-fi hip-hop / ambient — deep work
Synthwave & chiptune — shipping mode
Long instrumental sets — when the focus is one big problem

07Reading recently

Designing Data-Intensive Applications — Martin Kleppmann
ZK Proofs Foundations & Applications — various papers
Rust for Rustaceans — Jon Gjengset
