DAILY DRIVER

MacBook Air M4
Primary machine. Fanless, silent, handles everything. Daily driver for coding, design, and everything else.
Desktop PC
i5-10600KF, 32GB DDR4, RTX 2070. Windows.
Casper (home server)
i5-2430M, 8GB DDR3, Debian 12. HDD has 212 reallocated sectors and is technically dying - still running. Hosts PostgreSQL, Pinti, and ePanel. Accessible remotely via Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnel.

Editor & Terminal

VS Code
Main editor. Nothing exotic.
Termius
SSH client for connecting to Casper and remote servers.
Postman
API testing. 29 collections for AtakumPlus alone.

Stack

Go
Systems work: TCP proxies, CLIs, server daemons, anything where I care about the binary size or the syscall layer.
Node.js
Backend APIs, scripts, anything JavaScript-shaped. Fast to write, fast to deploy.
Next.js + React
Frontend and full-stack web. App Router, TypeScript, TailwindCSS. This site is built with it.
PostgreSQL
Default database choice. Reliable, well-understood, runs everywhere.
MongoDB
When the data is genuinely document-shaped and schema flexibility matters more than joins.
Docker
Local dev environments and production deployments. Compose for multi-service setups.
AWS
EC2, S3, CloudFront, Route 53. The basics. I avoid managed services that lock in behavior.
