Uses

These are the tools I use at home and at work.

Tools

I generally stick with tools as I am creature of habit.

• I initially designed this web site in Figma, a tool that I use at Genius Division to design apps, web sites, interfaces etc.
• For PHP development, I use PHPStorm. I’m a recent convert to using an IDE and have been doing so for the last 12 months. I barely scratch the surface of the features it offers.

Photography

I’ve been trying to expand my kit throughout the years and don’t take as many photos as I should. I used to post to Flickr but would like a self-hosted solution so I don’t have to rely on a third party and more importantly, own my own content.

• Sony A7 Mk II when I get around to it. I have a battery grip on it.
• Sony RX100 IV for point and shoot stuff.
• iPhone 11 Pro when out and about.

Kit

• MacBook Pro 15 inch + LG Ultrafine when at the studio.
• iPad Pro 11 inch.

This website

• Runs on the latest version of WordPress (it automatically updates).
• Codebase hosted on Bitbucket.
• Theme cobbled together using Tailwind.
• For hosting, I use Laravel Forge for server deployment and maintenance and Digital Ocean for hosting. It is backed up daily to Amazon S3.
• WP Rocket is used to cache the website to keep it super snappy.
• Content delivery is done through AWS’ CloudFront.
• Titles are set with a native font stack.
