Data & AI stack
Data & AI toolkit.
I use these tools to research, build, analyze, and communicate.
AI stack
Tools I use daily
01 — Sense
Claude · ChatGPT · GeminiMy thinking layer for product reasoning, PRDs, strategy, rapid research, and comparing perspectives on complex questions.
Kimi · MiniMax · GLM · MiMo · DeepSeekI use these cheaper open-weight models for a second opinion and for faster work on low- to medium-scale tasks, including recent side projects.
Hugging Face · GroqI source open models and datasets on Hugging Face and use Groq for fast inference and experimentation.
Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM)Used to interrogate source-heavy material and synthesize reports and papers against a controlled document set.
02 — Frame
Jira · Confluence · NotionMy system for requirements, roadmaps, documentation, project tracking, and keeping execution visible.
MS 365 Cowork · Claude Cowork · n8nCowork agents with custom skills and n8n for automating workflows across documents, analysis, planning, and everyday knowledge work.
03 — Build
Claude Code · Codex · OpenCodeMy vibe-coding and agentic development stack for planning, implementation, larger changes, code review, and multi-step execution.
VS Code · GitHub CopilotThe IDE I use daily, paired with Copilot as an agentic code companion for refactors, debugging, and staying close to the code while iterating.
OllamaThe local runtime I use when a prototype needs to stay private or stay cheap.
04 — Model
Python · SQL · SnowflakeThe core stack for cleaning data, exploring relationships, automating analysis, and building evidence-backed models.
scikit-learn · TensorFlow · PyTorchMy modeling toolkit for interpretable machine learning, anomaly detection, evaluation, and neural networks when they measurably beat the simpler baseline.
LangChain & RAGFor products that need retrieval, tool use, domain context, or multi-step reasoning instead of a single model response.
Streamlit · Gradio · DashI turn models into usable interfaces early, so stakeholders can react to behavior rather than abstract specifications.
05 — Communicate
Tableau & Power BII use these tools to turn data products, dashboards, and visualizations into decisions, showing where the numbers disagree, where the risk sits, and which trade-off we're making.
