Uses

Last updated: September 8, 2026.

This page gathers the tools, hardware, software, and setup I use for work, learning, writing, and personal projects.

It is intentionally part of my About me section because the tools I choose are also part of how I think, build, communicate, and learn in public.

Why this page exists

The idea connects with uses.tech, a directory of personal pages where people share the tools they use. I like it because it helps discover people with similar interests, understand how they work, and start unexpected conversations.

If you have your own website, this may be a good excuse to create your own uses page.

Hardware​

  • MacBook Pro
  • Android phone
  • Cheap wired headphones
  • I do not use a tablet

Daily Software​

  • macOS
  • Chrome
  • iTerm2
  • zsh
  • VS Code
  • Sublime Text
  • Git and GitHub
  • npm
  • Markdown and MDX
  • GIMP
  • Inkscape
  • ScreenFlow
  • Linkwarden
  • Obsidian
  • Paper, when thinking in front of a screen is not what the moment needs

AI​

I use AI tools mostly to build utilities, prototype, iterate on writing, and turn ideas into artifacts faster:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • GitHub Copilot

Maps and Geospatial Technology​

An important part of my work and professional identity lives around maps, geospatial data, and developer tools:

  • ArcGIS
  • OpenStreetMap
  • Geospatial APIs
  • Web development applied to maps and data visualization

Web, Publishing, and Communities​

This website is also part of my stack. I use Docusaurus to maintain my digital brain, publish notes, experiment with the IndieWeb, and keep learning in public.

Some of the areas that best describe what I do and what I am interested in connecting around:

  • Developer Relations
  • Developer advocacy
  • Technical communities
  • Geospatial technology
  • Open knowledge
  • IndieWeb
  • Web development
  • JavaScript
  • HTML
  • Web Components
  • PWA
  • APIs
  • Automation
  • Security
  • Performance
  • FOSS
  • Technical writing
  • Content creation
  • Public speaking, video, streaming, and podcasting
  • Maker projects, 3D printing, and VR

Note​

I am not trying to make this page an exhaustive list of everything I have tried. I prefer it to be a reasonably honest snapshot of the tools and topics that are part of how I work now.

Keep Reading​

To get to know me better from here, you can continue with:

  • Now, to see what I am focused on these days
  • My journey, to understand where I come from
  • Open culture, for the part closest to communities and open knowledge
  • Public speaking, to see topics I have spoken about in public

The short public URL for this page is /uses.
