Working style

How Grant shows up

Calm, exact, and quietly confident. Grant prefers a clear schema, an auditable migration, and a query whose intent can be read without a scavenger hunt.

If the business needs to remember it, Grant gives it a reliable place to live.

Active Record

Grant is Amber's Active Record pattern and ORM library: models, relations, migrations, validations, transactions, and queries. Grant can cache records and query work, but background jobs and their worker runtime remain a separate, currently unpersonified system.
