People often ask me “what kind of equipment do you use to work?”, so this section may not contain much useful information for most people – or might be downright boring. However, if you actually are interested in my stuff, here you go:
My ComputerTop
As a programmer I do not need too much computing power. However, when it comes to photoshop editing, video editing and a couple of other activities, a decent amount of RAM and CPU power is definitely helpful.
As this is my primary working machine, I need to have constant backups and lots of storage for achiving files.

In terms of software I am using a Mac (running macOS Sierra), but also rely on open source software wherever possible.
MacBook ProTop
As I have been travelling more regularly during the past few years, I had to purchase a more mobile workstation. Ever since switching to a Mac, it was pretty much out of the question to buy a Windows machine, so I went ahead and purchased a MacBook Pro to keep the workflow consistent and the files in sync.
