Hardware, software, and services I work with.

Meta Quest 3

Primary XR development and testing headset. Mixed Reality passthrough, hand tracking, full-color AR for all the medical and industrial training builds.

Meta Quest 2

Secondary device for compatibility testing — most enterprise XR deployments still target Quest 2, so every build ships supporting both.

Logitech VR Ink stylus (occasional)

For 3D sketching when prototyping spatial UI in immersive scenes.

Custom Windows PC — RTX 4070, 32 GB RAM

Unity 6 builds, Blender, glTF authoring, and Quest tethered development. Windows because the XR tooling story is still strongest there.

27" 1440p monitor + a vertical second display

Vertical screen for long MDX case studies, docs, and chat with Claude.

Mechanical keyboard + ergonomic mouse

Heavy keyboard hours; ergo matters when shipping production code daily.

Visual Studio Code

Daily driver for C#, JS/TS, MDX, Dart. Loaded with Tailwind, ESLint, Prettier, and Claude Code extensions.

Unity 6

Engine for every XR project. XR Interaction Toolkit + OpenXR + Meta XR SDK. Shader Graph for anatomy and visualization scenes.

Flutter SDK + Android Studio

Cross-platform mobile work — Food Partners and any new mobile MVPs ship on Flutter.

Blender

glTF prep, lightweight modeling, animation cleanup for XR scenes.

Git + GitHub

Source control + GitHub Actions for CI, including the auto-broadcast workflow that pushes new posts to the newsletter audience.

ChatGPT / Gemini

Quick research, prompt iteration, and cross-checking technical decisions.

Cursor / VS Code AI

Inline AI completion when prototyping a new module.

Figma

Wireframes, design system iteration, OG image prototyping before moving into next/og code.

Bricolage Grotesque (display) + Geist Sans / Mono

Typography used across this site. Bricolage for headings gives a slightly editorial feel without losing tech-aesthetic.
