Gear & Infrastructure.
A curated list of the hardware, software, and AI-native technologies I use to build digital products at the highest level.
Hardware
Software & AI
Antigravity
My primary AI coding partner for complex architectural tasks.
Gemini AI
Deepmind's most capable model for reasoning and logic.
Claude AI
Sophisticated language modeling and technical writing.
VS Code
Minimalist environment with a focus on speed and clarity.
Arc Browser
A focused web experience that stays out of the way.
Warp
Modern terminal with AI integration and collaborative tools.
Workflow
Daily Rhythm
I build during naps, after bedtime, and in focused 90-minute sprints. No standing meetings, no async overhead — just uninterrupted engineering time.
Every session starts with a clear target: ship one thing. Could be a feature, a fix, a blog post, or a test. The goal is forward momentum, not busywork.
AI handles scaffolding and boilerplate. I handle architecture decisions, edge cases, and the final 20% that makes something production-grade.
Pre-Commit Pipeline
1. npm run check — TypeScript + Astro diagnostics
2. npm test — Unit + integration tests
3. npm run build — Production build
Enforced by Husky on every commit. Block if any step fails.
Stack Principles
- Minimal dependencies — question every addition
- Zero-JS baseline — interactivity is the exception, not the default
- Ship minimal JavaScript — Preact over React, islands architecture
- Privacy by architecture — no data collection without consent
- Accessibility is non-negotiable — WCAG 2.2 AA minimum
- Tests or it didn't happen — CI blocks without passing checks
The playbook

These tools and principles are documented in detail across the Resources section — living standards for every project type I ship.
