Stacks
Lists of tools and services, both digital and physical, that I use, enjoy and probably recommend.
Programming
I work with many software projects, but some of my favorites when I get to choose are these.
- Elixir — Programming language
- Phoenix— Web Framework in Elixir
- Neovim
- Claude Code
- OpenClaw — building out my personal life dashboard in Discord
Software
Health and Fitness
- FwdFit.AI — Web app I've been building for AI assisted fitness coaching.
- MTNTough 2023-2024— Started Jan '23 on their Bodyweight On-Ramp Program. Then onto their 30-30 2.0 and Minimal Gear Foundation programs. Finally spent a few months doing their Minimal Gear Dailies (or MGDs). Challenging but so good. Pushed me past what I thought I could do.
- Garmin Forerunner 255 — Got this as a Christmas present to myself in Dec 2024. I've really liked it. Used to wear a Whoop which I also loved but this doesn't have a subscription price.
- GORUCK — Before starting the MTNTough programs most of my exercising over the past couple years was rucking. Really great gear and inspiring company. Still getting a good number of miles in regularly.
Photography
- Sony A7rIV — Love the Sony cameras. Upgraded to this from an a6000 a few years back.
- Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS — Incredible bird photography lens
- Peak Design Slide Strap — The 200-600 lens is pretty heavy. This strap is so smooth and takes care of it.
- Lightroom Classic — Feels like home
- Photoshop
- Nik Plugins— Mostly a few effects in Color Efex Pro for my bird photos
