Uses

What I build with

The editor, libraries and gear behind my work and this site. Updated when something changes.

Writing code

VS Code
My editor since the M.Tech days, with Prettier and GitLens. [Placeholder: theme and font]
Claude Code
An AI coding agent in the terminal. I write repository rules for it so it follows the codebase’s conventions.
[Placeholder] Terminal
Which terminal app and shell you use.
Chrome DevTools
Performance and Network panels most days; Lighthouse before anything ships.

TypeScript, React, Next.js
What most of my work is written in, from checkout pages to operations consoles.
Tailwind CSS v4 and Radix
The base of the design system I maintain: Radix for behaviour and accessibility, Tailwind for the look.
Zustand and TanStack Query
Zustand for the little client state there is, TanStack Query for everything that comes from the server.
React Hook Form
Long payment forms without re-rendering the page on every keystroke.
Vitest and ESLint
Tests, plus a few custom lint rules for mistakes the team kept making.

Astro
Static pages, a little JavaScript where it earns its place, and content collections for the writing.
Cloudflare Workers
Hosting. Every push to main deploys; nothing else touches production.
Young Serif and Figtree
A friendly serif for headings, a clear sans for everything else.
Satori and sharp
Generate the share images and the avatar favicon at build time.
Web Audio API
The pops, ticks and chimes are synthesised in the browser, so there are no sound files.
