My Professional Tech Stack and Development Tools

As a Frontend Lead Developer, I rely on a carefully selected set of technologies and tools to build scalable, high-performance web applications. Here's an overview of what I use daily in my development workflow.

Frontend Technologies

  • React & React Ecosystem

    My go-to library for building user interfaces. I leverage React's ecosystem including React Router, React Query, and various hooks libraries to build robust applications.

  • Next.js

    I use Next.js for nearly all my projects due to its powerful features like server-side rendering, static site generation, API routes, and excellent developer experience.

  • TypeScript

    TypeScript is essential in my workflow for type safety, better IDE support, and catching errors before they reach production. It drastically improves code quality and maintainability.

  • TailwindCSS

    My preferred styling solution for its utility-first approach, exceptional customization capabilities, and ability to create responsive designs efficiently.

  • Redux & Zustand

    For state management, I use Redux for larger applications and Zustand for simpler state needs. Both provide predictable state containers with excellent developer tools.

Workstation

  • Lenovo ThinkPad (Ryzen 7, 32GB RAM) – Debian GNU/Linux

    Daily driver running Debian with zsh. Rock-solid stability for long coding sessions and Docker workloads.

  • 27” 1440p IPS Monitor

    Plenty of screen real estate for side-by-side coding, browser, and docs. Calibrated for comfortable reading.

  • Keychron K2 (Gateron Brown)

    Compact mechanical keyboard with tactile switches — quiet enough for calls, satisfying for long typing.

  • Logitech MX Master 3S

    Ergonomic mouse with smooth scrolling and app-specific shortcuts — great for navigating large codebases.

  • Ergonomic chair & desk setup

    Height-adjustable desk and supportive chair to keep posture in check during extended development sprints.

Development Tools

  • VS Code

    My primary code editor with extensions for ESLint, Prettier, GitLens, and various language support. Custom keybindings and settings help maximize my productivity.

  • Git & GitHub

    Version control with Git and GitHub for collaboration, code reviews via PRs, and CI/CD integration. I'm a strong advocate for Git Flow and meaningful commit messages.

  • Terminal (Warp with Oh My Zsh)

    Custom terminal setup with productivity aliases, Git integration, and a theme that makes working in the command line both efficient and visually pleasing.

  • Docker

    For containerization and ensuring consistent development environments across the team. Makes local development match production as closely as possible.

Design & Collaboration

  • Figma

    Essential for UI/UX design collaboration, prototyping, and maintaining design systems. I work closely with designers using Figma to ensure pixel-perfect implementation.

  • Miro

    For brainstorming sessions, architectural planning, and team collaboration. Great for creating user journey maps and technical diagrams.

Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Jest & React Testing Library

    My testing stack for writing unit and integration tests. Focus on testing user behavior rather than implementation details for more reliable tests.

  • Cypress

    For end-to-end testing to ensure the complete user workflow works as expected. Invaluable for catching integration issues before deployment.

  • ESLint & Prettier

    Code quality and formatting tools that maintain consistency across the team. Custom configurations that enforce our coding standards and best practices.

Productivity & Team Management

  • Linear

    Issue tracking and project management that integrates beautifully with GitHub. Perfect for sprint planning and tracking development progress.

  • Notion

    Team documentation, meeting notes, and knowledge base. Used for technical specifications, team guidelines, and maintaining our development processes.

  • Slack

    Primary communication tool for team collaboration, with integrations for GitHub notifications, deployment updates, and code review notifications.
