Engineering, in depth

We pick tools for the problem, not the résumé.

A look under the hood: how we design systems, what we run in production, and the practices that keep your software fast, secure and easy to change.

Explore the stack

Architecture principles

Decisions we make on every build

Not dogma — defaults. We deviate when the problem demands it, and we tell you why.

Model the data first

Schemas and boundaries before UI. Get the data right and everything above it gets simpler.

Boring where it counts

Proven, well-understood tools for the core. Novelty only where it earns its keep.

Automate the path to prod

Every merge is tested, previewed and shipped the same way. No heroics on release day.

Observable by default

Logs, metrics and traces from commit one, so you find problems before customers do.

Stack by layer

What runs where, and why

${icon layout}Frontend

Typed, component-driven UIs with server rendering where SEO and speed matter. Design tokens keep it consistent and themeable.

React / Next.jsVueTypeScriptVite

${icon server}Backend

Service boundaries drawn around the domain, not the framework. Typed APIs, background jobs and clean migrations.

Node.jsPythonGoGraphQL / REST

${icon database}Data

Relational by default, with caches and streams where scale demands. Backups and point-in-time recovery you can actually restore from.

PostgreSQLRedisKafkaClickHouse

${icon cloud}Cloud & DevOps

Immutable infrastructure as code, containerised and reproducible. Blue-green releases and autoscaling that you can reason about.

AWS / GCPDockerKubernetesTerraform

${icon cpu}AI

Retrieval grounded in your data, with evaluation and guardrails. We measure quality before we ship, and keep a human in the loop.

OpenAI / AnthropicpgvectorLangChainEval harness

Security & compliance

Secure by construction

Security isn't a phase at the end — it's baked into how we build.

${icon lock}SSO & MFASAML / OIDC, enforced

${icon key}EncryptionIn transit & at rest

${icon shield}SOC 2 readyControls & audit trails

${icon eye}Least privilegeScoped, revocable access

DevOps / CI-CD

Every merge, the same safe path

No release-day heroics. Automated checks gate every change, previews let you click before you ship, and rollbacks are one command.

${icon gitbranch}
Preview per PRClick the change before it merges.
${icon infinity}
Automated pipelineLint, test, build, deploy — on every merge.
${icon shield}
Safe rollbacksBlue-green releases you can undo instantly.

Developer reviewing code and pipelines on screen

Observability

You can't fix what you can't see

Logs, metrics and traces from the first deploy, wired to alerts that page a human only when it matters. Staging that actually predicts production.

${icon activity}
Metrics & tracesLatency, errors and saturation, per service.
${icon eye}
Structured logsSearchable, correlated to requests.
${icon zap}
Actionable alertsSignal, not noise — tied to SLOs.

In production

The kind of thing we ship

// Idempotent webhook handler
export async function handle(evt) {
  if (await seen(evt.id)) return ok();
  await db.tx(async (t) => {
    await record(t, evt);
    await project(t, evt);
  });
  return ok();
}

# Infra as code — reproducible env
resource "service" "api" {
  image    = "api:${var.sha}"
  replicas = 3
  health   = "/healthz"
  autoscale {
    min = 3; max = 20
  }
}
