The stack I actually use

No fluff — just the real tools and gear I rely on for building apps, solving problems, and staying productive.

My Laptop & Desk Setup

  • Dell XPS (Latest Gen, Intel Evo)

    A powerful and reliable machine. Smooth performance for full-stack dev and AI projects.

  • 48” Ultrawide Curved Monitor (Samsung)

    A game-changer for productivity — enough space to code, preview, and debug without flipping tabs.

  • Logitech Ergo K860 Keyboard

    Comfortable, ergonomic, and makes long coding sessions a lot easier on the wrists.

Code & Testing

  • VS Code

    Clean setup with essential extensions — GitHub Copilot, Prettier, ESLint, Tailwind IntelliSense.

  • Insomnia

    My go-to for testing API endpoints — fast, clear, and great for mocking complex flows.

  • LeetCode & CodinGame

    For sharpening logic, speed, and thinking under pressure. Helps me stay sharp for interviews and real-world tasks.

Frontend & Mobile Dev

  • React & Next.js

    My main stack for building modern web apps. SSR, API routes, and flexibility — all in one place.

  • React Native + Expo

    I use this for mobile apps like Bean Remote — fast iteration and smooth cross-platform experience.

Backend & Databases

  • Node.js + Express

    Lightweight and scalable — ideal for building APIs, handling auth, and connecting services.

  • PostgreSQL + PostGIS

    My preferred combo for geospatial queries and structured data. Perfect for anything map-based or location-driven.

  • Supabase

    Instant setup with Postgres tables and powerful auth — ideal for projects that need speed and structure.

  • Firebase Auth & Messaging

    Easy to integrate and works flawlessly in mobile apps. I use it for authentication and real-time notifications.

Hosting & DevOps

  • Netlify & Vercel

    I usually host frontend projects here — great for CI/CD, previews, and easy rollbacks.

  • Render

    I use this for backend deployments — stable, simple, and supports PostgreSQL and Node.js really well.

Productivity & Notes

  • Obsidian

    My second brain. I use it for project planning, idea dumps, and connecting thoughts with backlinks.
