My setup
Here's what I use on a daily basis for development and productivity.
Desk
- MacBook M4 Pro : My primary development machine for work.
- Acer ED270U S3 : 27" Curved External Monitor.
- iPad Air M3 + Apple Pencil Pro : Love this for reading, jotting down notes, and for watching videos.
- Redmi Note 9 : My daily driver phone, been 6 years, going strong.
- Realme Buds Air 6 Pro : Daily on the go TWS, like the reflective surface.
- Jabra Evolve2 30 : Wired, and literally cancels all background noise on call.
- Portonics Extension Board : Hides the mess of cables, under my table.
- Greensoul New York Ergonomic Chair : Long sitting hours, and this chair is a lifesaver.
Development

- Ghostty : Fast, modern, and minimal terminal emulator.
- Google Chrome : My goto browser for development, no more explanation needed.

Productivity
- Zen Browser : My primary browser, love the keybindings, minimal look and so much more real estate, and it's Open Source!
