The Tech
Behind the Craft
From JS libraries to note-taking tools, here's what fuels my work on a daily basis.
Developer Tools
-
React and React Native
JS Libraries
Two fantastic libraries for building component based user interfaces across web and mobile. Wouldn't pick anything else for building full-blown applications.
-
TypeScript
Language
A strongly typed programming language that kept me sane along all those years. Touch it once and there's no going back.
-
GraphQL
Language
Powerful tool in combination with Apollo when building large-scale apps, especially when building for multiple clients with slightly different data requirements.
-
Next.js
JS Framework
Great framework to build performant large-scale applications and websites with serverside rendering and many other features.
-
Strapi
CMS
Go-to headless CMS system, offering a GraphQL layer, impressive flexibility and a fair pricing model.
-
NX
Tooling
Allowing for an optimized monorepo experience and speeding up many tasks in every-day development.
-
Tailwind CSS
CSS Framework
A CSS framework that has proven itself useful over and over again for rapid prototyping.
-
Astrojs
Static Site Generator
The framework behind this personal website. Perfectly suited for small- to medium-sized content driven websites, offering lots of flexibility.
-
WebStorm
Frontend IDE
Powerful coding environment that always felt most intuitive and effective to me.
Productivity
-
Obsidian
Notes
In my opinion the most powerful note-taking tool in existence when taking full advantage of available plugins and working with a suitable structure such as the Second-Brain PARA Method. Also, it works great for documentation.

LLMs
AI Assistance
For both productivity and inspiration I've integrated AI models into my workflow. I like to use cloud based solutions such as Copilot for coding, and locally running models to assist with Obsidian-related tasks.
