about: Hey! I'm Vanere (my friends call me V), A software engineer based on planet Earth. I enjoy building cool stuff in real life, and on the web. Im usually wired into my laptop working on "the next big thing", but on those rare occasions I'm not, you can probably find me somewhere in the sun.,

projects: [
Recurring => [
[WIP] A PHP library for handling recurring events., https://github.com/erenav/recurring,
],

Calendar => [
[WIP] A PHP library for calendar interfacing., https://github.com/erenav/calendar,
],
],

tools: [

// Workstation

14‑inch MacBook Pro => [
After many years using my old 2015 MacBook Air I finally upgraded to a MacBook Pro with the M2 Max chip, a 12‑core CPU, 38‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine with 64GB unified memory and 1TB SSD storage. Is it overkill? Yes it absolutely is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-14-and-16/,
],
LG 43-inch 4K UHD IPS HDR10 Monitor => [
I think i'm going blind so this is the best monitor i've ever owned., https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-43un700t-b-4k-uhd-led-monitor,
],

// Productivity

Jira => [
Jira is simply the best option for managing development projects regardless of the size of the team or project. It's exceptional for breaking projects of any size into manageable pieces of work so I can stay focused and ship faster., https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira,
],
TasksBoard => [
Using a todo list/tasking system instead of trying to keep things organized in my mind has been a life saver for me, and with TasksBoard it’s so easy to keep all non side project based tasks top of mind., https://tasksboard.com/,
],

// Development

PHPStorm => [
PHPStorm has been my goto editor for PHP based projects since about 2016, and although I've experimented with a few others over the years I always find myself defaulting to PHPStorm after a few weeks. Some things just can't be topped., https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/,
],
Sequel Ace => [
Great software for working with databases. Sequel Ace took the place of Sequel Pro (Pancakes) after Sequel Pro stopped receiving regular updates and it's 1 to 1 feature map with Pancakes made the switch between the two database management tools seamless., https://sequel-ace.com/,
],

// Design

Figma => [
Figma has been incredibly easy to use and understand for someone like me who is still a novice when it comes to designing and prototyping. I haven't used the collaboration tools Figma is known but will update once I do., https://www.figma.com/,
