Tools

Hardware, software, and accessibility tools I use every day. Every click takes 0.8 seconds, so I've gotten picky about what's worth clicking.

Accessibility

  • Head-mounted mouse

    Tracks head movement to control the cursor. This replaced my Logitech MX Master 3S when my hands could no longer operate a traditional mouse. Every click is a dwell click — hold the cursor still for 0.8 seconds.

  • Custom on-screen keyboard

    Started with the macOS Accessibility Keyboard, added shortcuts, passwords, emails, and frequently used phrases over time. Currently redesigning it from scratch in SwiftUI to combine typing, voice, notes, and stories in one place.

  • September

    My communication assistant. Smart text editor that learns how I talk, voice cloning via ElevenLabs, real-time transcription, and multiple keyboard layouts optimized for head-mouse input. Built it because nothing else existed.

  • ElevenLabs

    Voice cloning. My speech was already slurred by the time this launched, so I dug through old hard drives and videos to find recordings of my original voice.

Development

  • VS Code

    The workhorse. Everything happens here — code, articles, emails, long messages. I write everything in VS Code and copy-paste to wherever it needs to go.

  • Claude Code

    My partner-in-getting-shit-done. I knew nothing about SwiftUI and still redesigned my keyboard. Claude writes the code, I make the decisions.

  • Cursor

    Between Cursor and Claude Code, most of my coding is now describing what I want and reviewing what comes back.

  • GitHub Copilot

    The original game-changer. Smart text suggestions that learn from your writing made it possible for me to keep coding when typing became painful. I use it for code and prose alike.

  • iTerm2 + zsh + oh-my-zsh

    For all terminal work. Some things are still faster in a terminal, even at 0.8 seconds per click.

Hardware

  • Mac Mini, M2 Pro, 32GB RAM (2023)

    Primary workstation. Handles everything from builds to video calls without breaking a sweat.

  • 15" MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM (2018)

    Standard issue Gojek laptop. Used when away from my home office.
