Software I use, gadgets I love, and other tools I recommend.

Here’s a detailed list of tools, software, and hardware that I use daily to stay productive, build software, and enjoy the workflow while coding.

Workstation

  • Windows 10 and Ubuntu 24.04

    I mainly use Windows 10 because of its compatibility with 3ds Max and Cinema 4D when working on virtual tours for Getafeel. For development purposes, I switch to Ubuntu 24.04, which is excellent for Docker and other development tasks.

  • Redragon Kala Mechanical Keyboard

    A reliable and customizable mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting that enhances my coding and typing experience.

  • Redragon Cobra Gaming Mouse

    An ergonomic and precise mouse, perfect for long hours of work and navigation.

Code Editors and IDEs

  • JetBrains IDEs: PhpStorm, WebStorm, and PyCharm

    I rely on JetBrains products for writing clean and efficient code. PhpStorm for PHP/Laravel projects, WebStorm for JavaScript/React work, and PyCharm for Python-based projects.

  • Visual Studio Code

    A lightweight editor I use occasionally for quick edits or markdown files with various extensions.

Development Tools

  • TablePlus

    My go-to tool for working with databases. Its simplicity and speed make managing databases seamless.

  • Postman

    Essential for testing APIs, Postman lets me debug, document, and test my backend endpoints efficiently.

  • GitHub Desktop and Sourcetree

    I use GitHub Desktop for managing GitHub repositories efficiently, and Sourcetree for working with Bitbucket repositories. Both tools help me visualize branches, commits, and manage version control smoothly.

  • Docker

    I run development environments and manage containers to ensure consistency across projects.

  • XAMPP

    Perfect for quickly setting up a local server when working on PHP-based projects.

Browsers and Extensions

  • Google Chrome

    My primary browser for development and testing, equipped with developer tools and extensions like React Developer Tools, Angular DevTools, and Clockwork for debugging PHP and Laravel applications.

  • Firefox Developer Edition

    An alternative browser for testing and debugging websites for cross-browser compatibility.

Productivity and Utilities

  • Slack and Microsoft Teams

    Essential tools for seamless communication with clients, colleagues, and team members. Both platforms help me stay connected and collaborate efficiently.

    My go-to tool for project management, tracking tasks, and maintaining agile workflows. Jira helps me stay organized and ensures project deadlines are met.
