The gear and software behind the apps.
Everything I build and test runs on Apple hardware, all the way from writing the code on the Mac to checking the final build across iPhone, iPad, and Watch.
A 42-inch OLED makes a ridiculous amount of screen real estate for Xcode, and the AirPods keep the focus playlist going while I work.
Xcode 26 is home base for everything Swift, while VS Code handles coursework and web work. There's almost always a terminal open running Claude Code, Git keeps it all versioned, and TestFlight pushes builds out to my devices for real-world testing. I recently picked up Figma through the student plan to tighten up my design work.
When I step away from the keyboard, the tools change but the routine stays: tracking runs while training for a 10k, drilling Japanese, working through manga, and sitting down at the piano for some jazz and old-school crooner standards.
