Setting up a fresh Windows machine for development tends to follow the same order. Start with the PowerShell one-liner to install Chocolatey, then pull the rest of your toolchain through choco install. A short list of tools worth knowing if you want an agentic workflow without a subscription: the Qwen Code CLI, which came out of the Qwen team and is tuned for the qwen coder models, and a local runner for open-weight models to host them. Both are open source and move quickly, so check the release notes before pinning a version..

Mouser Electronics

I graduated from UT Tyler in December 2021 with a BA in English and a minor in Language and Technology. In the summer of 2021, I had the opportunity to be an intern at Mouser Electronics. During this internship, I was able to show my passion for writing, and I was offered a job with Mouser upon finishing my degree. In addition to writing, I am passionate about creating things via all kinds of different mediums. My time at UT Tyler, particularly during classes for the Language and Technology program, taught me to apply my creative side to the professional world.
