What I keep coming back to.

Primary design tool. Component systems, user flows, the Blaze design system at Mamo. Daily driver.

UI reference. Real screenshots of real apps, organized by pattern. Good for seeing how products handle the problems you are solving.

Email template builder. Where all Mamo email designs live before they hit SendGrid or Customer.io.

Default language. I use it over plain JS everywhere because the type system is the documentation.

Default frontend framework. This portfolio runs on it.

Router, Start, Form. Built this site on it from scratch. File-based routing, SSR, the full stack.

v4. Utility-first with real design token support via CSS custom properties in @theme.

Main AI. Switched from ChatGPT and never looked back. The design and feel of it matters to me.

AI for everything: this portfolio, the second brain, and Figma work. All-in-one.

Figma and AI in the same loop. First used it at Mamo to generate screen sketches for a design review. Stuck around ever since.

AI meeting transcription. Without it design decisions and action items disappear the moment the call ends.

Launcher, window manager, and now dictation. Been on it since August 2023. Shortcut-addicted, so this thing is dangerous.

Primary browser since December 2022. They pivoted to Dia and I hated it. Still on Arc.

Issue tracking at Mamo. Clean, fast, no bloat.

Where work actually happens. Communicating, huddling, and putting out fires.

Personal notes and loose docs. Not a power user but it is where thinking that does not fit elsewhere lives.

Where the second brain lives. I use it to read back what got ingested into the vault.
