Engineering Principles

Six principles we don’t negotiate on.

01
Performance is a feature

We ship with measurable budgets TTFB, LCP, INP enforced in CI. Storefront regressions don’t merge.

02
Theme apps over forks

We use Theme app extensions, sections, and metaobjects so your store stays upgrade-safe across every Shopify edition.

03
Observability before launch

Web Vitals, RUM, Shopify Functions logs and synthetic checks are configured before the first real customer.

04
Privacy as a baseline

GDPR/CCPA-aware data flows, consent-mode tagging and PII redaction at the edge by default, not by retrofit.

05
Documentation is delivery

Theme docs, component library, runbooks and onboarding ship with the code your team owns it from day one.

06
Senior, end-to-end

No first-line agents, no junior hand-offs. The architect who scopes your work is the one accountable for shipping it.
