How we build:

We use a modern frontend stack to build and ship highly interactive, data-heavy workflows that must be fast, reliable, and safe to use in production healthcare environments.

• React and TypeScript

• Apollo (GraphQL proxy layer; REST-based backend services)

• HeroUI with styled-components

• Storybook (component-driven development)

• Webpack 5 (with parts gradually migrating to Vite / SWC)

• CircleCI (Jest, Cypress, visual regression testing)

• SonarCloud (code quality & security analysis)
