<Uses/>

A living list of what I actually build with — the agents, models, and infrastructure behind my work. Heavy on AI tooling, because that is where most of my workflow now lives.

Machine

  • MacBook Pro (M5 Pro)

    Apple M5 Pro with 48 GB of memory — my daily driver.

  • MacBook Air (M1)

    Lightweight second machine for working on the move.

  • macOS 26

    Primary OS for development.

Terminal & Shell

  • Ghostty

    Main terminal — fast, GPU-accelerated, minimal.

  • Warp

    Second terminal when I want blocks and built-in AI.

  • zsh + tmux

    Shell home base, with tmux for running agents side by side.

  • lazygit

    Fast git TUI for staging, branching, and history.

  • ripgrep + glow

    Search the codebase and read Markdown in the terminal.

  • rtk

    My Rust token-killer proxy that trims tool output to save tokens.

Editors

  • VS Code

    Primary editor — with Code Pulse quietly tracking my own time.

  • Cursor

    When I want AI tightly inline in the editor.

  • Xcode

    For native iOS work on React Native / Expo builds.

AI Coding Agents

  • Claude Code

    Primary agent for engineering and orchestration.

  • Codex CLI

    Strong second opinion on design and refactors.

  • Droid (Factory)

    Autonomous multi-step tasks and missions.

  • Cline

    In-terminal pair for focused edits.

  • Goose (Block)

    Recipe-driven runs across providers.

  • Kilo Code

    Model-agnostic agent with a broad provider gateway.

  • OpenCode + Copilot CLI

    Kept around to compare behavior across harnesses.

Models & Routing

  • GPT-5.5 (Codex)

    My go-to model via Codex, run at xhigh reasoning for hard problems.

  • Claude Opus / Sonnet

    Claude Code and reviews — Opus 4.x, including the 1M-context variant.

  • GLM-5.1 / GLM-5 (z-ai)

    Fast and cost-effective; drives Droid and Kilo runs.

  • DeepSeek V4

    Pro and Flash tiers for high-throughput coding through Droid.

  • MiniMax-M3

    Long-context drafting; the default in Goose and Cline.

  • Quorate

    My own CLI — convenes several of these models as a review council.

Languages & Runtimes

  • TypeScript / Node 22

    Default for web, CLIs, and services.

  • Bun & Deno

    Reached for on fast scripts and modern runtimes.

  • .NET 10 / C#

    Enterprise APIs and the Meridian library.

  • Python 3.12

    Services, tooling, and data work.

  • Go & Rust

    Performance-sensitive tooling and systems work.

  • Ruby & Java 17

    On the machine for legacy and JVM/Rails work.

Frameworks & Libraries

  • React / Next.js

    Frontend and full-stack, including this site.

  • React Native / Expo

    Cross-platform mobile apps.

  • FastAPI

    Lightweight Python services.

  • Tailwind CSS

    Styling system across projects.

  • Prisma

    Type-safe data access — this blog runs on it.

  • Re-Shell

    My own platform CLI for microservices + microfrontends.

Data

  • PostgreSQL 16

    Primary relational database.

  • MongoDB

    Document store for app backends like Eşlik Et.

  • SQLite

    Embedded — powers Code Pulse and this blog.

  • Redis

    Caching and real-time fan-out.

  • DBeaver

    Cross-database GUI client.

Infrastructure & Ops

  • DigitalOcean

    Droplets running my sites and services.

  • Docker & Kubernetes

    Containers locally; kubectl for clusters.

  • nginx + systemd

    Reverse proxy and process management for Next.js standalone.

  • Cloudflare

    DNS, TLS, and edge in front of origin.

  • GitHub + gh CLI

    Source, releases, and automation.

Quality & Misc

  • Semgrep + git-secrets

    Static analysis and secret scanning before things ship.

  • k6

    Load testing APIs and services.

  • Bats

    Testing shell scripts and CLI tooling.

  • Postman

    Poking at APIs during development.

  • Figma

    Design reference and handoff.

Inspired by the /uses convention. Updated as the toolchain changes.
