My software consulting brand focused on AI-assisted development workflows.
| Tool | How I use it |
|---|---|
| Claude (claude.ai + Desktop) | Architecture, code review, system design, writing |
| Claude Code | Agentic coding — scaffolding, feature builds, refactors |
| Cursor | Day-to-day editor with inline AI completions |
| GitHub Copilot | Pair programming in IntelliJ |
| Gemini | Research, cross-model validation |
My workflow: use Claude to think and design → Claude Code to build → Cursor to refine.
