Welcome to my setup.

This page covers the hardware, gadgets and tools I use in my day-to-day work and life, including the desk, the machines, the cameras I shoot with, and the electronics I keep tinkering with.

Everything listed is something I actually use, and the page changes whenever something on the desk does.

Two BenQ monitors on a walnut standing desk, with a Keychron K2, a Dell keyboard, an Apple Magic Keyboard and trackpad, a key light and a webcam
The desk as it stands today.
