Toolkit

What I work in

Two jobs, two stacks. One runs a service company with trucks and technicians; the other ships software. These are the tools I am in every week, not a list of things I have heard of.

Build & ship

How the software gets made and deployed.

  • Claude Code
  • GitHub
  • Railway
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • PostgreSQL
  • Drizzle ORM
  • Tailwind CSS

Run the business

The systems Top Care actually runs on.

  • ServiceMonster
  • QuickBooks
  • Google Workspace
  • Notion

Market & measure

Demand generation and the numbers behind it.

  • Google Ads
  • Google Business Profile
  • Google Search Console
  • Ahrefs
  • Cloudinary

Design

Where the card art and the brand work happen.

  • Adobe Illustrator

How I use them together

ServiceMonster and QuickBooks tell me what the business is actually doing. Google Ads and Search Console tell me where the next job comes from. When those two views disagree, that gap is usually a product — and the build stack above is how it gets made and shipped.
