Software I use.

Inspired by Wes Bos, Freek Murze and many others, here's the software and services I rely on day-to-day. I'll keep this updated as my workflow evolves.

Workstation

  • 14” MacBook M3 Pro, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD

    My everyday machine for both leading the team and getting hands-on with code. More than enough power for everything I throw at it.

Development tools

  • PHPStorm

    I came back to PHPStorm after a few years on VS Code. When you're reviewing pull requests, debugging production issues, and jumping between projects all day, nothing else comes close.

  • Warp

    Fast, clean, and packed with features that actually save time. It's become a core part of how I work.

  • Claude Code

    An AI-powered coding assistant that lives in my terminal. I use it for everything from scaffolding features to refactoring and debugging — it's genuinely changed how I approach day-to-day development.

  • TablePlus

    A solid, reliable database client that supports everything I need — MySQL, Redis, SQLite, and more. Clean interface that stays out of the way when I'm troubleshooting data issues across projects.

  • GitHub

    Where all our code lives. I moved the team here from GitLab and BitBucket years ago — the workflow, integrations, and ecosystem for open-source make it the obvious choice.

Design

  • Sip

    A simple colour picker that works across apps and websites. Handy when I'm reviewing designs or checking brand consistency across projects.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    Replaced Alfred and never looked back. It's fast, free, and the extensions ecosystem means I can automate a lot of the repetitive stuff that comes with managing multiple projects.

  • CleanShot X

    The best screenshot tool on Mac, full stop. Annotations, scrolling capture, and quick sharing make it invaluable for bug reports, feedback, and documenting work for the team.

Hosting

  • Vercel

    My go-to for static sites and serverless functions. The deployment pipeline is effortless, which means less time on infrastructure and more time on the work that matters.

  • Hetzner

    Excellent price-to-performance, reliable infrastructure, and straightforward server management. A strong choice for projects where you need more control than a managed platform gives you.

  • Cloudflare

    I manage all my domains through Cloudflare. Lightning-fast DNS, solid security features, and zero-markup domain pricing make it a no-brainer.
