We’re proud of our code quality. Our codebase has 90%+ unit tests coverage. We encourage publishing open-source software and cleaning up the tech debt. We write TypeScript and Node.js 16/18, conduct peer code reviews, backend excellence meetings, maintain shared coding standards, practices, linters, presets, etc.

Proficient in microservice architectures, adept at decomposing large systems into smaller, scalable, and maintainable components.
