Setup, Gear, Software
Non-exhaustive list of hardware, software, edc and other gear that I use regularly and love. If you’re interested in other peoples setups checkout uses.tech!
Hardware
- 💻 Apple MacBook M1 Max Pro (16”, 2021)
- My personal laptop I use for most things outside of work.
 
 - 💻 Apple MacBook M2 Pro (14”, 2022)
- Work issued laptop I use to help build Gametime
 
 - 💻 Custom Built Dual Boot Desktop circa 2020
- AMD 5950x, RTX 3090, 96 GB Ram
 - Originally used for HPC research and gaming. Now primarily used for prototyping projects and development for the Distributed Computing class I help teach.
 
 - 🖥️ Dell 4025QW
- 40" 5k2k 120hz ultra wide monitor
 
 - 🖥️ Dell 2720Q
- 27" 4k 60hz monitor that I keep vertically oriented. Mostly used for things I want up while I’m working but arent my primary focus. References, papers, dashboards, spotify, etc.
 
 
Development Environment
- Goland
- I’m a huge fan of the JetBrains suite of tools and use Goland as my primary IDE. I was a former vim user but was converted to IntelliJ during my time at Amazon and have stuck with JetBrains IDE’s ever since.
 
 - Cursor
- I’ve been toying around with AI for personal projects and right now Cursor has been my go to. I use Github Co-Pilot as well, but I tend to reach for Cursor when I am experimenting with AI for writing code.
 
 - Ghostty
- Ghostty is dope! Its a fast, open source, and cross-platform terminal that I really enjoy using. I’ve tried out Warp and while it’s pretty cool, I prefer a standard terminal experience. Since I usually live in tmux or ssh sessions I don’t get a ton of benefit from Warp. Before I transitioned to Ghostty I main’d iTerm and the built in Ubuntu terminal.
 
 - Dotfiles
- My dotfile aren’t public (I should clean them up), but I use YADM to manage them. I really only have configurations for tmux, zsh, and vim in here, but I keep them private because they include private host names for things from work.
