My Setup

The tools, gadgets, software, and systems I use to do the work.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to work better. This is the setup I have built around that. My desk, my screens, my cameras, my software, my AI tools. The things I use every day, the things I am testing, and the ones I probably did not need but bought anyway.

My 2026 Desk Setup

This is where most of the work happens. The code. The company. The AI experiments. The content. The occasional 2am idea that seemed much better than it actually was.

My AI Builder Setup

I don't just use AI to ask questions. I use it to build. This is the setup behind the agents, workflows, experiments, and increasingly ambitious things I am trying to make AI do.

The Tools I Use to Build Software

I have been writing software for most of my life. The tools have changed significantly. The basic problem has not. Take something complicated. Understand it. Break it down. Build it. Ship it. Fix it. Repeat.

My Content Creation Setup

I am building in public now. That means I need a setup that makes it easy to turn an idea into a video before I have time to overthink it. Some of this is still coming together.

What I am testing next

I am always changing something.

A new tool. A new AI workflow. A new camera setup. A new way of working. The Build Log is where I write about what I am learning.
