My 2026 stack for agentic AI, blockchain, and full-stack delivery.

LangGraph

Primary agent orchestration framework. Preferred over LangChain chains for anything that requires cycles, state machines, or multi-agent coordination.

Temporal

Durable workflow execution. Non-negotiable for any agentic AI system that needs to survive failures, retries, and long-running tasks.

Anthropic Claude (API)

Primary foundation model for reasoning-heavy tasks — architecture review, specification generation, code review.

OpenAI GPT-4o

For multi-modal tasks and clients with existing OpenAI infrastructure.

Vertex AI

GCP-based model serving for clients with data residency requirements or GCP infrastructure.

LangSmith

Observability and tracing for LangChain / LangGraph applications. Replaced home-built logging for agent traces.

Helicone

LLM cost and latency tracking across multiple providers.

Next.js 15

Default framework for all web applications. React Server Components + App Router is the architecture I build everything on.

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first CSS. Every project. The consistency and velocity gain is permanent.

TypeScript

Non-negotiable. Type-safety is especially important in agentic AI systems where schema mismatches can cause silent failures.

Supabase

PostgreSQL + Auth + Realtime. Replaces separate database, auth, and WebSocket infrastructure for most products.

SvelteKit

Used for creative / 3D web projects where bundle size matters. Not a daily driver.

shadcn/ui

Component library for internal tools and rapid prototyping. Well-structured, easy to customise.

Cosmos SDK

For sovereign chain development and compliance-layer modules. The governance and module system is unmatched for regulated applications.

CosmWasm (Rust)

Smart contract development on Cosmos chains. Rust's memory safety and formal verification tooling matters for financial applications.

Solidity (Hardhat)

For EVM-compatible chains. Hardhat is the test/deploy framework.

Slither + Mythril

Static analysis tools for smart contract security review before external audits.

Cloudflare Workers

Edge compute for latency-sensitive logic — auth, personalisation, A/B routing, and API gateway.

AWS Lambda + Step Functions

Serverless compute for event-driven workflows. Step Functions for state machine orchestration when Temporal is too heavy.

Terraform

Infrastructure as code for all production infrastructure. Environment parity is a prerequisite, not an aspiration.

Vercel

Next.js deployment. Preview environments and the build system are excellent.

Prometheus + Grafana

Metrics and dashboards. Deployed on every agentic AI system for agent-level observability.

VS Code

Primary editor with GitHub Copilot, ESLint, Prettier, and the Tailwind IntelliSense plugin.

Claude Code (CLI)

Agentic coding assistant for architecture exploration, refactoring, and documentation. Faster than Copilot for multi-file changes.

Warp Terminal

Replaced iTerm2. AI command suggestions and workflow blocks are genuinely useful.

Linear

Project management for everything. Better than Jira for engineering-led teams.

Figma

Design tool. I do enough product design work that full Figma fluency matters.

Postman

API testing and documentation. GraphQL and REST.

MacBook Pro M3 Max

Primary machine. The unified memory architecture makes local LLM inference viable for 7B–13B models.

Dell UltraSharp 4K (×2)

Dual 27-inch monitors. Architecture diagramming needs horizontal space.

Sony A7 IV

Photography. The practice that keeps pattern recognition sharp outside of engineering.
