Software, Gadgets, Tools, Games that I use.

As an introverted software developer and gamer, I know the following gadgets and tools will let anyone work comfortably and with a peace of mind.

Workstation

  • MacBook Air M2 15", 24GB RAM

    This laptop is my quiet powerhouse, offering the perfect balance of performance and portability without the fan noise (think macbook pro), ideal for working and traveling.

  • Secretlab Chair (Softweave)

    Provides all-day comfort with its ergonomic design, making long coding sessions or gaming marathons nice and cozy.

  • Omnidesk Standing Table (Acacia Wood)

    Lets me seamlessly switch between sitting and standing. Especially after a meal, standing and walking is preferred for good digestion.

  • Edifier QR65

    Delivers immersive sound quality for a budget price. Better than expected.

Development tools

    A distraction-free, fast, and efficient code editor that keeps my environment clutter-free, allowing me to dive straight into the coding zone.

  • PhpStorm

    Feature-rich and deeply integrated, it handles complex PHP projects like a champ.
