Tools of thetrade.
We are opinionated but pragmatic. These are the technologies we reach for first-and why.
Frontend
Modern, responsive interfaces that stay fast and accessible.
Our preferred React meta-framework for speed and DX.
Flexible foundation with a deep ecosystem.
Type safety that catches bugs before production.
Utility-first styling that scales with teams.
Intentional motion tuned to our Warm Ember palette.
Backend
Robust APIs and services that prioritize reliability.
Great for I/O-heavy workloads and shared language across the stack.
Excellent for data, ML, and rapid prototyping.
When we need simplicity with strong performance.
Battle-tested relational database we trust by default.
Caching, queues, and real-time features made simple.
AI & ML
Applied AI as a capability within products, not as hype.
Generation, reasoning, and embeddings with strong tooling.
Great for analysis and safer long-form reasoning.
Orchestrating retrieval and tool use with structure.
Reliable vector search at scale.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Delivery pipelines, observability, and resilient hosting.
The full toolkit when we need deep cloud primitives.
Zero-config for our Next.js footprint.
Consistent environments from laptop to production.
CI/CD that lives where the code lives.
Design & UX
Systems, motion, and collaboration to keep experiences premium.
Source of truth for product and brand systems.
High-fidelity prototyping with motion baked in.
Component documentation and accessible previews.
Shared design tokens aligned to Warm Ember.
Why these tools?
Stability over hype
We prefer proven technologies with mature ecosystems. New isn't always better-reliable is.
Developer experience matters
Tools that make our devs productive and happy result in better code. We optimize for both.
Right tool for the job
We aren't dogmatic. If a project calls for something different, we adapt.
