What I use every day to build, create, and stay productive.
Gear and apps I actually own and use — laptops, headphones, desk peripherals, and a few essentials. Not a wishlist.
Everyday carry
- MacBook Pro 14-inch (VNG)
Apple M5, 32GB unified memory, 1TB SSD. What I bring to the office every day — dev, meetings, and shipping at VNG.
- iPhone Air
Daily driver for messaging, calendar, and quick mobile web / React Native checks.
- Apple Watch Series 10
Reminders, activity, and light notifications without pulling out my phone all day.
- AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
Compact earbuds for calls, focus, and commuting. ANC when I need quiet at the office or a café.
Computers
- MacBook Pro 16-inch
Apple M1 Max, 32-core GPU, 32GB unified memory, 1TB SSD. Personal machine — side projects, HRDept, Electron/Next.js, and everything outside my day job.
- iPad Pro 11-inch
Apple M1, 11-inch. Docs, light sketching, design review, and media — complements both MacBooks.
Workstation
- Sony WH-1000XM5
Over-ears at the desk for deep focus — strong noise cancellation and comfortable for long coding sessions.
- Logitech MX Keys S
Primary keyboard — quiet keys, compact layout, pairs well with both MacBooks.
- Logitech MX Master 3S
End-game mouse for dev work — scrolling, gestures, and smooth handoff via Logi Options+.
Apps
- Termius
SSH and SFTP into servers and containers — quick access to remote environments from the Mac.
- Postman
API exploration, collections, and sharing request examples with the team during integration work.
- Xcode
iOS builds, simulators, and native tooling when React Native or Apple-platform debugging is needed.
- Navicat
Database design, queries, and data inspection across dev and staging environments.
- Docker
Local services, compose stacks, and parity with CI/CD containers before deploy.
- SourceTree
Visual Git history, branching, and merges when a GUI helps more than the terminal.
