Toolkit
The tools I actually reach for. Not a wishlist, the stack that does the real work, kept deliberately small.
Editor & environment
Linux / Ubuntu
Daily driver. Everything runs here.
VS Code
With the extensions kept to a sane minimum.
Git & GitHub
Version control and CI via Actions.
Docker
Reproducible stacks, one compose up away.
Languages & frameworks
Python
FastAPI, pandas, scikit-learn, my default for AI work.
React 19 + Next.js
For interfaces and full-stack apps.
SQL / PostgreSQL
Where the real state lives.
Bash
Glue for everything else.
AI & data
Playwright
Automation and the eyes of vision agents.
RAG + vector retrieval
Grounding answers in real sources.
Tableau / Power BI
When the data needs to be seen.
Postman
Poking APIs until they behave.
Off-screen
Blender
Leftover from game-dev days; still fun.
A hockey stick
Striker. Weekends only.
Fez
The puzzle-platformer I keep coming back to.
A sketchbook
Drawing and making art to think with my hands.
HackerRank
Competitive programming to stay sharp.
