Uses
A living document of tools I use daily. Inspired by uses.tech.
Last updated: September 2026
Backend
The daily driver for everything server-side.
API layer. Runs under Gunicorn with threads, not a pile of worker processes.
Background jobs across normal and priority queues.
InnoDB on RDS for a multi-tenant SaaS. Composite indexes over clever WHERE clauses.
EC2 and RDS. Tune the config before buying the bigger instance.
AI tooling
Code review, architecture planning, and a growing library of Skills.
Agentic coding in the terminal. Built this site with it.
Version control and side projects.
This Website
React framework with static generation for a fast, content-focused blog.
Interactive components.
Utility-first, no context switching.
Vercel's clean sans-serif, self-hosted.
Static search index, no external dependencies.
Posts and notes are plain markdown files in the repo.
Writing
Newsletter distribution as Null Tensor.
Where most of the post ideas come from.
