Technology Stack

The Tools Behind the Systems

Every technology we build with, and exactly what we use it for. No résumé padding — if it's listed here, it's running in a production system we shipped.

The ORVINUS technology stack covers five areas: AI and machine learning (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, PyTorch, TensorFlow), backend engineering (Python, FastAPI, Node.js, PostgreSQL), frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript), automation (n8n, custom workflow engines, multi-agent orchestration), and cloud and DevOps (AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes).

AI & ML

AI & ML

The model layer: foundation-model APIs, orchestration frameworks, and training libraries we use to build intelligent systems.

OpenAI

GPT-family models for chat, reasoning, and embeddings inside client products — selected per use case for capability, latency, and cost. Used in AI MVP Development, Applied AI.

Anthropic

Claude models for long-context reasoning, document analysis, and agentic workflows where instruction reliability matters. Used in AI MVP Development, Applied AI.

LangChain

Orchestrating multi-step LLM pipelines — tool calling, retrieval chains, and agent loops with observability hooks. Used in AI MVP Development.

LlamaIndex

Data-framework layer for RAG: document ingestion, chunking strategies, and index management over private data. Used in AI MVP Development.

RAG

Retrieval-augmented generation architecture — grounding model answers in your documents so responses cite facts instead of guessing. Used in AI MVP Development.

Vector Databases

Similarity search over embeddings — the retrieval backbone of every RAG system and semantic search feature we ship.

Pinecone

Managed vector search when clients want zero-ops retrieval infrastructure that scales with document volume.

LLMs

Large language models as system components — integrated, evaluated, and monitored rather than bolted on. Used in AI MVP Development, Applied AI.

Fine-Tuning

Adapting models to domain-specific tasks when prompting hits its ceiling — with evaluation baselines before and after.

TensorFlow

Training and serving deep learning models in production pipelines, particularly for structured-data and vision workloads. Used in Applied AI.

PyTorch

Our primary framework for custom neural network research and training — from prototypes to GPU-accelerated production training runs. Used in Applied AI.

Hugging Face

Open-model ecosystem: transformers, datasets, and inference endpoints when open-weight models fit the task or budget.

Scikit-Learn

Classical machine learning — gradient boosting, regression, clustering — which still wins on tabular data and small datasets. Used in Applied AI.

Neural Networks

Custom architectures designed for the problem at hand — from feed-forward predictors to sequence models for market data. Used in Applied AI, Algorithmic Trading.

Backend

Backend

The engine room: languages, frameworks, and databases behind every API, pipeline, and trading engine we deploy.

Python

Our core language for AI systems, quantitative research, and data pipelines — the shortest path from model to production. Used in Applied AI, Algorithmic Trading.

FastAPI

High-performance async Python APIs — the default serving layer for our AI backends and model endpoints. Used in AI Infrastructure.

Node.js

Event-driven backends and real-time services, especially where the product team also lives in TypeScript.

Express.js

Lightweight Node APIs and middleware layers when a full framework would be overhead.

Django

Batteries-included Python applications — admin panels, auth, and ORM out of the box for content-heavy products.

Flask

Minimal Python services and internal tools where a micro-framework keeps the footprint small.

PostgreSQL

Our default relational database — transactional integrity for SaaS products, plus pgvector for embedded retrieval. Used in AI Infrastructure.

MongoDB

Document storage for flexible-schema workloads: event logs, scraped datasets, and content systems.

Redis

Caching, rate limiting, queues, and real-time state — the performance layer in front of slower storage.

Supabase

Postgres-plus-auth-plus-storage for MVPs that need a production backend in days, not weeks. Used in AI MVP Development.

Firebase

Real-time sync, push, and auth for mobile-first products and rapid prototypes.

GraphQL

Typed API contracts where clients need flexible querying over complex data graphs.

REST APIs

The default integration surface — versioned, documented, secured endpoints for every system we hand over.

WebSockets

Live data delivery: streaming market prices, agent status, and dashboard updates without polling. Used in Algorithmic Trading.

Frontend

Frontend

The product surface: frameworks and disciplines that make AI systems usable — dashboards, copilots, and client-facing apps.

React

Component-driven UIs for every dashboard, admin panel, and product front-end we build.

Next.js

Our default full-stack React framework — server rendering, static generation, and API routes in one deployable unit. Used in AI MVP Development.

TypeScript

Type safety across the entire codebase — fewer runtime surprises in systems that move money and data.

JavaScript

The substrate of the web — used judiciously, typed wherever possible.

HTML5 / CSS3

Semantic, accessible markup and modern layout — the foundation SEO and assistive tech actually read.

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first styling for fast product iteration when the project's design system calls for it.

Framer Motion

Production-grade animation — scroll choreography and micro-interactions like the ones on this site.

Three.js

WebGL 3D visualizations for data-rich interfaces and interactive product experiences.

Responsive Design

Every interface ships mobile-first — dashboards included, because operators check systems from phones.

Progressive Web Apps

Installable, offline-capable web apps when a native app would be overkill.

Automation

Automation

The workflow layer: orchestration engines and integration tooling that let AI systems act, not just answer.

n8n

Self-hosted workflow automation — the visual backbone we extend with custom nodes for client processes. Used in Applied AI.

Zapier Integration

Connecting client systems to the thousands of SaaS tools their teams already run on.

Custom Workflow Engines

Purpose-built orchestration — like the geekstudio.us engine — when off-the-shelf automation hits its limits. Used in Applied AI.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Coordinating multiple AI agents across a process: routing, hand-offs, and supervision. Used in AI Infrastructure.

API Integration

Stitching third-party services into one coherent pipeline with retries, idempotency, and audit trails.

Web Scraping

Structured data acquisition from web sources — collection pipelines that feed research and pricing systems.

Data Pipelines

Extract-transform-load flows that turn raw feeds into analysis-ready datasets on a schedule. Used in Applied AI.

Cron Jobs & Schedulers

Reliable time-based execution — reports, retraining runs, and reconciliation jobs that never get forgotten.

Event-Driven Architecture

Systems that react to events instead of polling — the pattern behind low-latency automation.

Cloud & DevOps

Cloud & DevOps

The reliability layer: infrastructure, deployment, and monitoring that keep our systems at 99.9% uptime.

AWS

Primary cloud for enterprise deployments — compute, storage, and managed AI services under fine-grained IAM. Used in AI Infrastructure.

GCP

Google Cloud for data-heavy and ML workloads — BigQuery, Vertex, and GPU capacity. Used in AI Infrastructure.

Azure

Microsoft-stack clients and Azure OpenAI deployments with enterprise compliance requirements.

Docker

Every service we ship is containerized — identical environments from laptop to production.

Kubernetes

Orchestration for multi-service systems that need auto-scaling, rolling deploys, and self-healing. Used in AI Infrastructure.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated test-build-deploy flows — releases become boring, which is the point.

GitHub Actions

Our default CI runner: tests, builds, security scans, and deployments on every push.

Vercel

Zero-ops hosting for Next.js products — preview deployments for every change.

Nginx

Reverse proxying, load balancing, and TLS termination in front of application clusters.

Terraform

Infrastructure as code — environments that can be rebuilt from a repo, not from memory.

Monitoring & Alerting

Metrics, logs, and alerts wired into every deployment — problems page us before they page you. Used in AI Infrastructure.

SSL & Security

Encrypted transport, hardened headers, secret management, and role-based access as defaults, not add-ons.

READY TO BUILD?

Your Stack, Engineered Properly

Whether we build on your existing stack or design one from scratch, every choice is justified by the workload — not by fashion.
