Things That I Use

This page is inspired in the uses.tech movement and its main goal is to share with you what things I use on my daily life, from hardware to software. It might not be accurate at all times, but I try to update it every now and then to make sure it is up to date.

⌨️ Desk

Desk at Home

At home, we have two desks: one in our bedroom, and one in the guest bedroom. I mainly use the one in the guest bedroom. I’m also a desk person, which apparently some people are not, and I much rather prefer having a desk than just using the laptop as-is.

  • Desk Ahrend Balance Solo (Electric, 120 x 80)
  • Chair Ahrend Verta
  • Monitor Stand IKEA SIGFINN
  • Monitor Dell U2723QE

📷 Photography

In the photography department, I currently own a Fuji X-T5. The pictures that come out of it are fantastic. However, it is a bit of a mess to edit Fuji RAWs due to the way they’re encoded. I’m using Capture One for that. Maybe I’ll write about it one day.

  • Camera Fujifilm X-T5
  • Lenses XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.0, XF 27mm F/2.8, XF 23mm F2.0 R WR
  • Tripod Manfrotto Befree
