Gear

Things I use and genuinely recommend. No filler.

Computing

MacBook Pro 14" (M3 Pro)

My main machine. Fast enough to forget it exists. Battery lasts a real workday.

Raspberry Pi 5

Home server, project controller, general-purpose tinkering machine. One of these is never enough.

Electronics & Making

Pinecil Soldering Iron

USB-C powered, heats up in seconds. Replaced a $150 iron I had for years.

Bambu Lab A1 Mini

3D printer that actually just works. Multi-color capable. Lives on my desk.

Photography

Sony A7C

Full-frame in a compact body. Shoots everything from family moments to long-exposure nights.

Sony 35mm f/1.8

The lens that lives on the camera. Sharp, fast, small.

Desk

IKEA Karlby Countertop

Solid walnut veneer. Heavy, real, and will outlast every other piece of furniture I own.

Keychron Q2 (Gateron Blue)

Loud enough that everyone knows I'm working.
