Uses
A rundown of the tools, frameworks, hardware, and software I use daily to build full-stack platforms, ship AI-powered features, and design polished user experiences.
Design
- Figma is my go-to for UI design and prototyping. I use it for everything from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups, design systems, and team collaboration. Clean, fast, and browser-based — exactly how design tools should work.
- For quick photo editing and asset creation I use Canva and Adobe Photoshop. Canva is my rapid-fire tool for social graphics, and Photoshop handles the heavy lifting when pixel-perfect precision matters.
- For video editing and motion work I switch between CapCut and Adobe Premiere Pro. CapCut is shockingly good for quick edits and reels, while Premiere handles longer-form content and advanced compositing.
Development
- VS Code is my primary code editor, running the One Dark Pro theme with JetBrains Mono as my font.
- Chrome is my main browser for development — the DevTools, Lighthouse audits, and extension ecosystem are unmatched. Arc Browser is my daily driver for general browsing.
- Next.js is my framework of choice for full-stack web apps. Combined with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Appwrite for the backend, it's the stack I used to build EliteFolks and Milestonenest.
- React Native powers my mobile app development. I use Expo for rapid prototyping and bare workflow for production builds like Nextly.
- For AI/ML work I use Python with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and the Google Gemini API. Jupyter notebooks for experimentation, and FastAPI for serving models in production.
- Git and GitHub for version control. I follow a trunk-based workflow with feature branches, PRs, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions and Cloudflare Pages.
- For 3D effects and WebGL shaders I use three.js — you can see it in action on this portfolio with the displacement sphere and device mockups.
