Two Macs, four AI labs, one cat in the menu bar.

The desk — an LG ultrawide filled with agent panes, a MacBook Pro, an iPad as a second screen, sticky-note plans along the monitor's bottom edge, hackathon trophies on the left and a Pikachu on the right

The command center. Everything below lives within arm's reach.

AI Stack

Four labs, one coding stack. I mostly supervise.

Claude Code — 2× Maxthe primary

Claude Code — 2× Max

Two Max accounts, running side by side. Most of what I ship goes through it — the terminal is the IDE now.

Codex — ChatGPT Pro

Codex — ChatGPT Pro

One Pro seat, second agent in the stable. Parallel runs when I want a different take on the same problem.

Google AI Pro

Google AI Pro

Gemini and Antigravity. The third lab — long-context reads and a completely different failure mode.

GitHub Copilot

In-editor completions for the small edits that aren't worth spending an agent turn on.

Wispr Flow

Voice-typing everything, including this page. I talk to my computer far more than I type at it.
