Toolkit & Resources

• 
  Notepad++ — Lightweight text editor for quick edits and config changes. Tip: Use “Find in Files” for rapid batch search/replace in entire code folders.
• 
  Greenshot — The fastest way to capture, annotate, and share screenshots on Windows. Tip: Set a global hotkey for instant screen grabs when documenting bugs or sharing workflows.
• 
  Excel — My go-to for rapid prototyping, ad hoc analysis, and business modeling. Tip: Use pivot tables and conditional formatting for quick data insights.
• 
  Power BI — For dashboarding, sales analytics, and business intelligence at scale. Tip: Prep your data in Power Query to keep your reports fast and flexible.
• 
  Word — For business docs, proposals, and process documentation. Tip: Save reusable templates for proposals or recurring reports.
• 
  WSL / macOS Terminal — Terminal access for scripting, automation, and dev tasks. Favorite zsh commands:

  • ls -lh — Human-readable file sizes.
  • grep -r "search-term" . — Recursively search files for a string.
  • git log --oneline --graph --all — Beautiful Git history tree.
  • history | grep [command] — Find recent commands fast.
• 
  Canva — For quick graphics, presentations, and polished visuals. Tip: Use brand kits and templates for consistent, professional output.
• 
  VS Code — My default code editor for Python, web projects, and markdown docs. Tip: Extensions like “Python” and “GitLens” supercharge your workflow.
• 
  Inspecting Network Traffic in Browsers (XHR) — Debugging API calls and site integrations via Chrome/Edge/Firefox DevTools. Tip: Filter XHR/Fetch in the Network tab to see only relevant API requests.
• 
  Python — Automating tasks, analyzing data, and building internal tools. Tip: pandas for spreadsheet-style analysis; requests for API work.
• 
  Rekordbox — Organizing and prepping DJ sets; analyzing BPM and key for EDM. Tip: Use intelligent playlists for auto-sorting tracks by mood and energy.
• 
  Nakiri (Japanese vegetable knife) — My favorite for precision chopping in the kitchen. Tip: The flat edge is perfect for thin, even veggie slices and makes prep feel pro.
