Uses

These are the tools I use at home and at work.

Software

I have used a Mac for over 20 years now as my computer of choice for development and design. For server environments I am a fan of Ubuntu probably due to familiarity more than anything else.

• I initially designed this web site in Figma, a tool that I use at Genius Division to design apps, web sites, interfaces etc.
• For PHP development, I use PHPStorm.
• Tyme: I (try and) track my time so I can better analyse it.

Photography

I’ve been trying to expand my kit throughout the years and don’t take as many photos as I should. I used to post to Flickr but would like a self-hosted solution so I don’t have to rely on a third party and more importantly own my own content. Check out the photos section on this website.

• Sony a7 IV.
• iPhone 16 Pro when out and about.

Kit

• M3 MacBook Air 15 inch + dual external monitors.
• iPad Pro 11 inch.

This website

• The original version of this site was built on Kirby CMS. I wanted to be able to upload things on the go so I rebuilt it on Laravel with Filament to handle editing etc.
• Codebase hosted on Bitbucket.
• Theme cobbled together using Tailwind.
• I'm hosting this site on an old, Model B Raspberry Pi at Genius Division's office.
• Titles are set in Decimal.
