The brief
Reaction Dynamics builds hybrid-propulsion rockets in Quebec. Fresh off a CAD $14M Series A, they needed a public site that could carry the weight of the technology: investor-grade polish, engineering-grade precision, and a hard launch date fourteen weeks out.
What I built
The centrepiece is the Aurora rocket showcase: an interactive visualisation where highlight dots sync with technical breakdowns on hover, each expanding into detailed component specifications. Around it sits a careers portal with custom application validation, and a newsroom with filtering and archives for press releases.
Scroll-driven GSAP animation runs through the whole site, tuned to stay out of the way of the content rather than perform over it.
How it is built
Fifty-plus components, and the load-bearing decision behind them: what becomes a block editors compose in the CMS, and what stays bespoke code, like the Aurora showcase.
The chain underneath is the same discipline. Type-safe GraphQL with code generation, so data contracts break at compile time, not in production, and the Reaction Dynamics team ships product pages and press releases without waiting on a developer.
