Our Technology Stack

The Tech We Use
to Build Exceptional Products

We leverage the best tools, languages, and frameworks to deliver robust, scalable, and innovative solutions. Our team pairs deep engineering expertise with agentic AI coding for unmatched velocity and quality.

JavaScript & TypeScript Ecosystem

Why We Love TypeScript and Modern JS Runtimes

TypeScript

TypeScript is our default for web projects. Its static typing helps us catch bugs early and deliver maintainable code. We use strict type checking and custom types for complex business logic.

npm

npm is our primary tool for managing JavaScript dependencies. We use npm scripts for automation and leverage its ecosystem for rapid prototyping. Our workflows include lockfiles and semantic versioning.

Bun

Bun is our go-to for fast local development and testing. We use it for running scripts and building projects, taking advantage of its speed and TypeScript support.

Deno

Deno is used for secure server-side TypeScript projects. We leverage Deno for its security model, simplicity, and built-in tooling. Its import system helps us build robust server applications.

Frontend Frameworks

Modern UI Libraries for Web Apps

React

React is our choice for scalable web applications. We use hooks and context for state management and SSR. React’s ecosystem helps us deliver robust, high-performance UIs.

Svelte

Svelte enables us to build fast, minimal UIs with simple syntax. We use it for projects where performance and simplicity are paramount, leveraging its reactivity.

SolidJS

SolidJS powers our performance-critical frontends. Its fine-grained reactivity allows us to build lightning-fast UIs. We use it for dashboards and real-time applications.

Databases

Modern Data Storage and Management

SQLite

SQLite is our choice for lightweight databases in prototyping and small-scale apps. Its zero-configuration makes it ideal for rapid iteration.

PostgreSQL

Postgres is our preferred relational database for production. Its advanced features power our scalable web apps and APIs. We use it for transactional integrity and complex queries.

Supabase

Supabase provides us with a modern backend-as-a-service on Postgres. We use it for APIs, authentication, and real-time subscriptions, accelerating development.

Neon

Neon is our go-to for serverless Postgres, enabling scalable cloud databases. Its branching and autoscaling features help us deliver modern applications.

Ruby on Rails, Phoenix & Elixir

Battle-Tested Backends for Modern Apps

Ruby on Rails

We use Rails for rapid prototyping and full-stack web apps. Its convention-over-configuration philosophy lets us deliver features fast with built-in security. We leverage ActiveRecord and ActionCable for real-time features.

Phoenix Framework & Elixir

Phoenix and Elixir power our scalable, real-time systems. Elixir provides reliability and concurrency for chat and notifications. Phoenix LiveView enables rich UIs with minimal JavaScript. We use OTP for fault-tolerant architectures.

Testing & Quality Assurance

Comprehensive Testing for Bulletproof Applications

Vitest

Vitest is our go-to testing framework for JavaScript projects. Its fast performance and TypeScript support make testing efficient. We use it for unit and integration tests, ensuring reliable code.

Unit Testing

We maintain comprehensive unit test coverage. Our tests validate individual functions and components, catching bugs early. We follow TDD principles and maintain high coverage standards.

Playwright

Playwright powers our end-to-end testing strategy. We use it for automated UI testing and cross-browser validation. Its reliability gives us confidence in every deployment.

Quality Assurance

Our QA process includes automated testing, code reviews, and performance monitoring. We catch issues before production, ensuring high standards for quality and user experience.

AI & Agentic Coding

Supercharging Developers with AI Agents

AI-Paired Development

Every developer is paired with AI coding agents. These agents assist with code generation, refactoring, and testing. They help us catch edge cases and optimize performance. Our workflow integrates AI suggestions and code reviews.

Agentic Coding

We use agentic coding to automate tasks and generate boilerplate. Our agents collaborate with developers, providing insights and feedback. This synergy allows us to focus on creative problem-solving while AI handles routine work.
