My Full-Stack Tech Stack in 2025

If you've met me—or even skimmed through my GitHub—you already know one thing: my world revolves around TypeScript. It's the language I reach for whether I'm spinning up a quick prototype, architecting a large SaaS product, or hacking together a random side project at 2 a.m.

Over the years I've refined a tech stack that helps me move fast, stay safe, and ship real products without drowning in complexity. Here's a breakdown of what I use, why I use it, and when each tool shines.

---

🎨 Frontend: TypeScript All the Way Down

React (Core UI Workhorse)

React remains my foundational UI library. Not because it's trendy, but because:

• the ecosystem is massive,
• the patterns are flexible,
• and honestly, hooks just feel like muscle memory now.

Next.js (Production-Ready React)

When I need a strong convention-driven environment—routing, server actions, image optimization, caching layers—Next.js is my default. Perfect for:

• SaaS dashboards
• Marketing sites
• SEO-heavy pages
• Hybrid SSR/ISR experiences

TanStack Start (The New Kid I'm Loving)

A fresh, modern take on app routing grounded in TanStack Router. Why I like it:

• File-based routing without the Next.js magic
• Progressive enhancement baked in
• Great for SPAs with sprinkles of server logic

Astro (Island-Based Performance Beast)

When perf matters more than interactivity, I reach for Astro. It's my go-to for:

• Documentation websites
• Content-heavy blogs
• Landing pages with tiny hydration footprints

⚙️ Backend: TypeScript From Edge to Cloud

I treat backend the same way I treat frontend: typed, fast, and flexible.

Elysia (The Bun-Optimized Powerhouse)

I reach for Elysia when using Bun or when I want extreme performance with a smart plugin ecosystem and great DX.

Hono (My Go-To Edge Framework)

Tiny, lightning-fast, Cloudflare-friendly. If I'm deploying to the edge, I'm using Hono.

🖥️ Runtimes: Node, Deno, Bun

Node.js

Still my default runtime for production unless I explicitly need edge or Bun optimizations.

Deno

Secure by default, incredibly modern, great for small serverless functions or scripts.

Bun

Fast as hell. Fantastic for:

• local dev
• tooling
• high-performance microservices with Elysia

🗂️ Databases & Storage Layer

I've used a lot of databases across projects and these are the ones I keep coming back to:

Convex (My Favorite Realtime DB/Backend-as-a-Service)

It handles data, queries, functions, auth glue—all in typed TypeScript. For dashboards and apps needing reactive data: unmatched.

Supabase (Firebase Alternative, But SQL)

Perfect for:

• auth + storage
• easy SQL
• real-time features
• edge functions

Neon (Serverless Postgres Done Right)

Great for multi-branch development. I love its:

• auto-suspend
• branching model
• Postgres ecosystem compatibility

PlanetScale (MySQL + Branch-Everywhere Joy)

If I need MySQL with world-class DX, branching workflows, and horizontal scale, PlanetScale is the answer.

Turso (SQLite at the Edge)

For:

• blazing-fast reads
• distributed edge workloads
• simple, low-latency apps

---

🛠️ SaaS Tools I Use Daily

Clerk (Authentication Done Properly)

The best developer experience for auth. Typed, flexible, and integrates beautifully with workflows.

WorkOS (Enterprise-Grade Auth & Compliance)

Whenever SSO or anything "enterprise" enters the chat, WorkOS is my easy button.

PostHog (Analytics & Feature Flags)

Self-hostable, privacy-friendly, and perfect for:

• product analytics
• feature rollouts
• session replays

Sentry (Error Monitoring & Performance)

Great crash reporting on both frontend and backend.

AWS (Big Iron Cloud Stuff)

When I need:

• S3
• Lambda
• CloudFront
• or something with long-term reliability

I still lean on AWS.

✍️ Typography Choices (Because Developers Have Taste Too)

Fonts matter. They can change the entire vibe of a product. Here's my personal rulebook:

Receipts, Terminal Displays

Departure Mono A pixel-perfect monospaced font I use whenever something needs that retro-printer aesthetic.

Code & Technical UI

JetBrains Mono Clean, readable, great ligatures—my default coding font.

Headers & Hero Sections

Instrument Sans or DM Sans Both have premium vibes and look amazing for feature titles or clean headers.

Body Text (Docs, Product UI)

Geist or Inter Readable, neutral, and modern. These make UIs feel professional without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.

Resources

Icons and Shapes

• CoolShapes

🚀 Final Thoughts

My stack is always evolving, but one thing stays constant: I optimize for developer experience, velocity, and type-safe correctness. TypeScript ties my entire workflow together—from React components to backend functions to database queries.

If you're building in 2026 and want a stack that feels cohesive, modern, and insanely productive, I can't recommend this ecosystem enough.
