Tools. Apps. Gear. | Alex Panagis

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

Canon 90D (“also” … actually let’s be honest, I don’t get out much so mainly use this as my webcam for meetings)
Rode VideoMic NTG+. For voiceovers and video meetings. This runs directly into my computer via USB.
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 👇
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)

RunCloud. Managing our own fleet of servers/cloud infrastructure (for PHP-based applications).
Servebolt. The world’s best, managed WordPress hosting.
Atarim. The ultimate and only way we collaborate visually.
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).
Grammarly. Takes the effort out of checking large chunks of text in emails/texts. Don’t rely on it for anything truly high-touch, but it’s really great as an aid for everything to move faster.
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.
VSCode. When I’m writing UI copy or pushing smaller changes to side projects, VSCode is the only way.
Cloudflare. Does this really need an explanation? 🙂
LifterLMS. Our learning management system of choice (for good reason, we use this for internal documentation/training).
