Tools. Apps. Gear.

Here’s the tech I’m currently using for work.

Most of this has been accumulated primarily over the last few years, with a major upgrade to the office setup in 2022 (lights, etc.).

Tweet me (I’m @alexjpanagis) if you have any questions!

Desk / Computer / Office

Audio / Video

  • Canon 90D (“also” … actually let’s be honest, I don’t get out much so mainly use this as my webcam for meetings)
  • Shure MV7, connected over XLR. For voiceovers and video meetings.
  • Elgato Key Light. Great for meetings and office ambient light, I can’t work with the regular spotlights in the office anymore. Just this and ๐Ÿ‘‡
  • BenQ Desk Lamp. The only lamp I use 99% of the time (when not in meetings). Much prefer working in a more dimly lit room, helps me focus.
  • GlideGear Teleprompter (to look at camera during video calls)

Other

  • RunCloud. Managing our own fleet of servers/cloud infrastructure (for PHP-based applications).
  • CleanShot X. The best way to capture screenshots (and share them) as well as video recordings, GIFs to demo things, etc.
  • Raycast. Recently switched over from Alfred, get the feeling I only use 1% of what it’s capable of (case in point: I only recently discovered that it also has “Clipboard History” as a feature).
  • Figma. Not an avid user of Figma myself, but it’s what all the designers I work with at ScaleMath and our client companies work with.
  • Cloudflare. Does this really need an explanation? ๐Ÿ™‚
  • LifterLMS. Our learning management system of choice (for good reason, we use this for internal documentation/training).
