My Developer Workspace: The tools and tech that power my daily workflow.

A curated list of the software ecosystem, cloud platforms, and productivity tools I rely on to architect scalable .NET applications and bring ideas to life.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio

    When I need full-scale enterprise tools, Visual Studio delivers everything from powerful debugging to seamless Azure integration.

  • Visual Studio Code

    I don’t care if it’s missing all the bells and whistles of heavyweight IDEs—Visual Studio Code remains my go-to editor for speed, flexibility, and extensibility.

  • SQL Server Management Studio

    For database work, I switch to SQL Server Management Studio for its comprehensive control.

  • Azure Data Studio

    I switch to Azure Data Studio for a more modern, developer-friendly experience.

  • NGROK

    When it’s time to demo or test webhooks, NGROK makes exposing local servers to the internet seemless.

Design

  • Google Stitch

    Google Stitch is a great tool for interface design. It helps bring ideas to life faster, without ever needing to leave the browser.

Productivity

  • Microsoft To Do

    Microsoft To Do keeps me focused better than any complex productivity suite ever could. With its clean interface, smart daily planning (“My Day”), and deep integration with Outlook and Microsoft 365, it helps me stay on top of personal and project tasks without the clutter. Sometimes, less really is more.

  • Azure DevOps

    Azure DevOps delivers the end-to-end workflow that actually gets things shipped. From code repos and CI/CD pipelines to project boards and test plans, it brings everything together in one tightly integrated platform. Whether I’m tracking user stories or automating deployments, Azure DevOps keeps the entire software lifecycle moving with precision.

Cloud & Deployment

  • Microsoft Azure

    As a robust cloud platform deeply integrated with the .NET ecosystem, Azure is essential to how I architect, deploy, and scale enterprise applications.

  • Firebase

    For rapid app development, real-time databases, and quick push notifications, Firebase provides an incredibly smooth and reliable backend experience.

  • Netlify

    My absolute favorite platform for hosting frontend applications like React and Angular. The automated build pipelines and instant previews turn deployment into an afterthought.

  • GitHub & GitLab

    While Azure DevOps is fantastic for enterprise lifecycles, GitHub and GitLab remain indispensable for version control, open-source collaboration, and decentralized workflows.

Creative & Media

  • DaVinci Resolve

    When I step away from code and dive into video editing, DaVinci Resolve is an absolute powerhouse for high-quality cuts and professional color grading.

  • CapCut

    For quick, engaging, and dynamic edits—especially for fast-paced social media formats—CapCut is an incredibly intuitive tool that just gets the job done.
