Uses — gear behind the work & play
Hardware, software, and systems I actually use every day — from a self-built RTX 4070 rig to GDS terminals. Self-taught on all of it.
🖥️ PC Rig
Self-assembled in Japan in 2026 — my gaming and AI/LLM workhorse. Started with a Zotac RTX 3060 Ti; upgraded in April 2026 to the ASUS Dual OC RTX 4070.

Built by hand, in Japan
Picked every part and assembled it myself while living in Japan — the same way I learned everything since my first hand-me-down PC in 2010. Runs Windows for games, heavy AI workloads, and local generative pipelines (ComfyUI for image, video, and audio) when the MacBook needs backup.
⌨️ Peripherals
Royal Kludge RK61
Compact 60% mechanical keyboard — bright amber backlight that matches the battlestation glow.
Logitech G304 Lightspeed
Wireless gaming mouse — light, precise, and always charged enough for long sessions.
💻 Laptops & Tablets
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2019)
16GB RAM — development and office work. The trackpad gestures and macOS polish are unmatched.
Apple iPad Air (M1)
Reading, sketching ideas, travel entertainment, and a second screen when the desk needs one more canvas.
📱 Mobile Devices
Both ecosystems — iOS for the camera and reliability, Android for tinkering.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max
The iOS side of life: camera, ecosystem, and day-to-day reliability.
OnePlus Nord 3 5G
The Android side — I genuinely prefer Android’s openness for tinkering and custom setups.
🥽 XR & Gaming
VITURE Pro XR / AR
- VITURE Pro XR/AR Glasses — a personal cinema in a glasses case
- VITURE USB-C External Adapter
- VITURE × 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller
One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Meta Quest 2 was my 2024 VR gateway — sold it, but it earned its keep.
Consoles
PlayStation 5 — the 2024 era. God of War, Spider-Man, The Witcher 3, and two Platinum trophies to show for it.
🎧 Audio
Apple AirPods Pro 3
Daily drivers for calls, travel, and focus — ANC when the world is loud, transparency when it isn’t.
Creative tools, terminals, and local AI
Three OSes, three GDSs, Adobe and DaVinci on the timeline, ComfyUI on the RTX 4070 — a self-taught stack for daily work.
Operating systems & terminals
macOS for polish, Windows for games and GPU work, and Linux for love — Mint, Ubuntu, Kali, Fedora, and plenty more. I live in the command line across all three: Windows Command Prompt, macOS Terminal, and Linux shells for advanced troubleshooting and everyday tasks.
Creative suite
Graphic design in Adobe Photoshop (expert). Video and motion with DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and CapCut — from travel vlogs to polished cuts. Day-to-day documents and spreadsheets in the Microsoft Office suite.
Local AI — ComfyUI & LLMs
The Japan-built RTX 4070 battlestation doubles as a local generative AI lab. I run ComfyUI workflows for AI image, video, and audio generation, plus local LLM setups — same GPU that powers games and heavy model work when the cloud isn’t needed.
GDS & code
Travel industry command lines — Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo — learned at the airline desk, used daily at Zetova Journeys. Python for automation and tooling, web tech for GlassPad and this site, and a self-taught-everything policy since 2010.
Curious what I build with all this?
GlassPad, travel CRMs, Python tools, and two companies — the gear is just the start.
