An honest list — not aspirational. Each tool earned its place by helping ship something I'm still proud of.

AI & models

The substrate of ZAI. Python for everything serious, with a strong bias toward systems that hold context across decades.

  • Python

    Daily driver

    Main language for ZAI, the World Model, Oracle, and most internal tooling.

  • PostgreSQL

    Daily driver

    Time-series, regimes, and replays — Postgres handles all three honestly.

  • Node.js

    Comfortable

    Glue layer for the trading terminal and the Next-side APIs.

  • Supabase

    Shipping

    Auth + storage when a project needs to ship fast without becoming infra.

024 tools

Frontend

Where craft meets perception. Calm, dense interfaces — the kind of UI that respects an operator's attention.

  • Next.js

    Daily driver

    App Router, server components, streaming. Default for product work.

  • React

    Daily driver

    Composable UI, expressive state. The substrate I think in.

  • TypeScript

    Daily driver

    Strict mode always. Types as a design tool, not a tax.

  • Tailwind CSS

    Daily driver

    Tokens via @theme. Fast iteration without CSS sprawl.

032 tools

Platform

Shipping, monitoring, and keeping the lights on without ceremony.

  • Docker

    Comfortable

    Reproducible builds, simple deploy targets for the studio's services.

  • GitHub

    Daily driver

    Source of truth + CI. Anteroom Studio's work lives here in the open.

Philosophy

How I choose tools

    01 / 03

    Long memory beats hot takes

    Markets, geopolitics, and AI all reward systems that hold context across decades. Anteroom's tools are designed around 1871 → today, not the last 24 hours.

    02 / 03

    Pick boring tools

    Reach for the proven defaults first. The interesting bet is in the system design and the reasoning layer — not in adopting the latest framework.

    03 / 03

    Reproducibility from day one

    Every prediction in the World Model rebuilds from raw inputs. Every Oracle claim links to its source. Without this you don't have a model — you have a story.

Let's create together

Let's build something extraordinary.

Open to product-minded teams and collaborators. Let's connect and make something great.
