Software

My primary development environment runs on macOS, managed entirely through chezmoi for reproducible setup across machines. I live in iterm with powerlevel10k giving me a clean, information-dense prompt in my Oh My Zsh shell. R is my primary statistical environment. For editing, I bounce between Sublime Text and RStudio. I use AeroSpace for tiling window management with JankyBorders adding visual separation, and Karabiner plus Hammerspoon handle keyboard customization and automation. Firefox is my main browser with heavy UI customization through userChrome.css. For a complete list of software I use check my dotfiles.
