The terms behind the work - what they mean, when they apply, and where they show up in our projects.
AI & data

LLM
A model trained on very large amounts of text that processes and generates language - the basis of most of today AI applications.
MLOps
The practice of not just building models but shipping, monitoring, and being able to withdraw them reliably.
Prompt engineering
The work of giving a language model its task, context, and output format so the result is reliably usable.
RAG
A technique where a language model first retrieves the relevant passages from your own documents, then bases its answer on them.
Security & compliance
DevSecOps
The practice of building security checks into the development and delivery process rather than bolting them on afterwards.
ISO 27001
The international standard for information security management systems - and the proof customers in regulated industries ask for.

The EU cybersecurity directive that obliges considerably more companies to demonstrable security measures and incident reporting.
Threat model
The structured question of what can go wrong in a system, who would benefit, and what it would cost.

A security model that verifies every access individually instead of deriving trust from a position in the network.
Engineering & platform
Astro
A web framework that ships pages without JavaScript by default and adds interactivity only where it is needed.
CI/CD
The automated chain from a code change to a shipped application - built, checked, and released without manual steps.
Core Web Vitals
The three metrics Google uses to measure the experienced quality of a page: load time, responsiveness, and visual stability.
Headless CMS
A content system that serves content through an interface instead of rendering the presentation itself.
Kubernetes
A system that runs containers across multiple servers, monitors them, and restarts them on its own when they fail.
