Let’s work together
I’m currently accepting new projects. I’m also happy to talk shop.
Get in touchDevelopment software
Atom
I’ve tried the others; I’m most comfortable and efficient with this one.
Tower
Makes Git a bit more approachable and I use it pretty regularly.
Terminal
When I need to run npm run dev, Terminal gets the job done. Just kidding, I also know how to run cd and ls.
Image optimization tools
Squash, JPEGmini, and ImageOptim are all useful for quickly batch optimizing images. Which I do for every web project, because performance is important.
Design software
Sketch & Figma
I use and enjoy both of these modern design apps.
Photoshop
Great for editing photos, and clunky as hell for everything else.
PixelSnap
Quickly measure the spacing between things, which is like 90% what design is.
svgsus
Keeps vector icon libraries at the ready, incredibly useful. I wish I had come up with that name — just so clever.
Keynote
When I have to put a presentation together, Keynote makes me hate my life the least. Good for quick animations too. I have some custom key command recommendations for it.
Essentials
A handful of browsers
Firefox for everyday browsing, Chrome for media viewing. Cross browser testing is less horrible these days but still important.
Fantastical
The perfect calendar app. I can quickly add calendar events with human language. I’m terrible with dates, so a good calendar app is crucial.
Notion
One app for all my note taking, TODO list, and project planning needs.
Spark
Spark is good enough for managing my email for now. I’ll always miss Mailbox though. 😭
Dropbox
Home for every file that doesn’t live in a git repository. It suffers from enterprise feature bloat, but still the best when it comes to simple syncing and sharing.
TweetBot
The best Twitter client I’ve been able to find. It displays tweets in reverse chronological order and lets you filter out keywords and hashtags — basically, it makes Twitter usable.
Handy utilities
Rocket
Slack-style emoji picker. ❤️
Cardhop
Contacts app made by the same folks who made Fantastical. Like with Fantastical, they nailed it.
Giphy Capture
The most friendly way I’ve found to capture video from part of my screen.
Copy Clip
A buffer for clipboard history. 😌
BetterSnapTool
Quick window resizing behavior from Windows 7, which was the only Windows feature that I missed after switching to Mac.
Bartender
Gives me control over which menu bar icons clutter up my menu bar. Begone, Siri!
