Inspired by uses.tech — the tools I actually use,
starting with the ones running the site you're reading.
This website
- Next.js 16 + React 19 — the framework
- Tailwind CSS 4 + shadcn/ui — the look
- Neon + Drizzle ORM — serverless Postgres
- Better Auth — accounts and logins
- Vercel — hosting, image storage, and analytics
- Resend — transactional email
- Kit — the newsletter
- TypeScript (strict), Vitest, and Playwright keep it honest
Building & writing
- AI pair programming — large parts of this site were built working
with an AI assistant, with every change verified by automated browser
tests before it ships
- GitHub — code, reviews, and CI on every push
- Markdown — every post, deal write-up, and case study on the site
Trading
- A brokerage account, a watchlist, and more patience than any indicator.
I write about the actual strategies on the
blog.
Desk & daily carry
- Fueled by coffee — the grinder matters more than the machine
- (This section is a work in progress — the honest answer is "a laptop
and whatever mug is clean.")
