Development

Technical standards, workflows, and development guides for building and maintaining our platforms.

Overview

A comprehensive resource for learning, standards, and workflows that promotes consistency and quality across all our engineering projects.

This guide serves as our single source of truth for engineering practices, enabling teams to work cohesively while maintaining high standards. It covers everything from coding conventions to deployment procedures.

Our documentation improves through collective knowledge sharing. Every team member—regardless of experience level—can contribute insights, updates, and improvements. See our contributing guidelines to get started.

Note: This guide evolves with our team and technology stack to remain relevant and actionable.

Engineering Direction

We focus on building with care and intention. Our priorities include:

  • Sustainable systems – Code and infrastructure that last beyond individual contributors.
  • Accessible platforms – Inclusive tools designed for real-world use, even in low-connectivity contexts.
  • Composable architecture – Modular systems that adapt as our needs evolve.
  • Enablement over control – Technology should empower contributors, not constrain them.

Engineering Culture

We work with humility, discipline, and shared purpose. Our values:

  • Build with context – Understand the why, not just the how.
  • Default to transparency – Document decisions and surface tradeoffs.
  • Keep it simple – Solve for clarity, not cleverness.
  • Review with care – Feedback is a gift; we challenge ideas, not people.
  • Own what we ship – We are responsible for what reaches our users.
