My gear
Own less. Decide once. Enjoy more.
Everything I use, and the reason it survived the cull. This page evolves as the setup does — last updated June 2026.
The One-Cable Desk
The whole desk runs on a single USB-C cable. Everything below earned its place — everything else got banished under the desk.
Laptop + Thunderbolt dock
The heart of the one-cable setup — power, display and peripherals through a single USB-C connection.
Ultrawide monitor on an arm
One big canvas instead of two bezels; the arm keeps the desk surface completely clear.
Low-profile wireless keyboard & mouse
No wires, no dongles on show. Charged once a month, forgotten otherwise.
Under-desk cable tray + velcro
The unglamorous hero. Every cable lives here, labeled, where I never see it.
The Tinkering Toolbox
The tools behind my small automation experiments — described in plain language, built on weekends, occasionally even useful.
Claude
My main thinking and building partner — drafts, code, automation logic, and honest critique.
OpenClaw
The agent framework that chains my little automations into something like a personal operating system.
VS Code
Where the AI-generated code lands, gets tweaked, and occasionally gets completely rewritten.
A personal automations folder
Email triage, file sorting, fasting tracker, cricket fixtures dashboard — small tools, big hours saved.
The Vlog Kit
Deliberately minimal. The best camera is the one that doesn't make filming feel like a production.
Smartphone on a small gimbal
For everyday vlogging — always in the bag, zero setup friction.
Compact wireless mic
Audio matters more than video. This was the single biggest quality upgrade.
Foldable tripod + LED panel
For desk videos and sit-down pieces. Sets up in under a minute.
