Uses

A living document of tools I reach for daily. Inspired by uses.tech.

🏠 Homelab

Docker + Compose · Everything in containers. 30+ services, all declarative.

Traefik · Reverse proxy, automatic HTTPS. The glue.

Terraform · IaC for home infra. Overkill? Maybe. Reproducible? Always.

Home Assistant · Lights, climate, presence, automations. The whole house.

Grafana + Prometheus + Loki · Full observability stack. Because dashboards make me happy.

Tailscale · Mesh VPN. Access everything from anywhere.

Go · Primary backend language. Love the simplicity and static binaries.

TypeScript + React · Anything with a UI. Astro for static sites like this one.

Neovim + VS Code · Neovim for quick edits, VS Code for longer sessions.

Warp · Terminal emulator. Fast, good autocomplete, stays out of the way.

Git + GitHub · gh CLI for everything. PRs from the terminal.

Claude · Pair programmer for everything. Lives in the terminal and the IDE.

AWS · Primary cloud. EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, the usual suspects.

Kubernetes · Container orchestration at scale. Helm charts and GitOps.

Cloudflare · DNS, CDN, tunnels. Swiss army knife of the internet.

Nginx · Static serving and reverse proxy for production.

GitHub Actions · CI/CD. Build, test, deploy on push.

Datadog · APM, logs, metrics. Production observability.

Kafka · Event streaming backbone. Topics, partitions, consumer groups.

Neo4j · Graph database. When relationships matter more than rows.

Mux · Video infra. Encoding, streaming, analytics without the headache.

SQLite · Most underrated database. Perfect for single-node apps.

Ableton Live · Still my DAW. Muscle memory runs deep.

Various synths + plugins · A collection built over many years of production.
