As a full-stack developer, my setup is crucial to my productivity. Here is a detailed look at the hardware, software, and tools I rely on every day.

Hardware

I work on a MacBook Pro 16" with an M1 Pro chip and 32GB of RAM. It handles everything from running multiple Docker containers to compiling TypeScript without breaking a sweat. For power backup, I use an Ecoflow River 2 Max (512Wh) that keeps my laptop and router running through power outages—a reality in Honduras.

Software Stack

My primary code editor is VS Code with the Antigravity extension, and I use Warp as my terminal. For AI-assisted development, I use OpenCode, Claude Code, and Cursor—each for different use cases.

I manage my infrastructure through Dokploy, a self-hosted PaaS on my VPS. This hosts multiple Supabase instances, n8n workflows, backend APIs, and client demos.

Productivity Tools

  • Notion for notes and project management.
  • Linear for issue tracking and task management.
  • Figma for UI/UX collaboration and prototyping.
  • Logitech MX Master 3S for ergonomic mouse usage.

The key is not having the most expensive tools—it is having a setup that works for your specific workflow and being intentional about every tool you adopt.
