A pragmatic, modern stack with a strong preference for boring, well-supported tools where they fit, and carefully chosen newer technology where it earns its keep.
Modern JavaScript and TypeScript on the web, with React-based component systems for product surfaces and lightweight vanilla approaches where simplicity is the better answer. Performance and accessibility are baseline requirements rather than late-stage concerns.
Node.js services and well-typed APIs (REST and, where appropriate, GraphQL). We favour explicit service boundaries, well-documented interfaces, and operational simplicity over architectural novelty.
Managed cloud hosting in established European regions, with content delivery networks for edge caching, and infrastructure-as-code where it provides genuine repeatability rather than ceremonial complexity.
Privacy-aware analytics built around aggregated, minimally-identifying signals. We measure what helps us improve the product, and not more than that.
Defence-in-depth: managed secrets, encrypted transport and storage, least-privilege access patterns, and structured incident response. Privacy reviews are part of the design process, not a separate stream.
React Native for cross-platform efficiency where it suits the product, and native Kotlin or Swift where the platform deserves a first-class implementation. CI/CD pipelines and staged rollouts are standard.
Mature, well-understood tools win unless there's a concrete reason to reach for something newer.
Logging, metrics, and tracing are part of every service's first version, not a later retrofit.
Ship in small increments. Feature flags, staged rollouts, and easy rollbacks beat heroic releases every time.
