David Marin
Founder & engineer
Founds and builds Basetool Labs. Eight years shipping product at YC-backed startups, from frontend architecture to AI features. Talks to clients directly and writes the code.
Team
A small team, growing on purpose.
A senior founder who ships, two roles we're interviewing for, and an AI stack that does the heavy lifting. We've built with AI since before the LLM era, and it shows in how fast we move.
The team
Senior engineers who talk to you directly and write the code themselves.
We're growing
We're hiring senior people who ship. If that's you, say hello. We're interviewing now.

Interviewing
React and Next.js, an AI-native workflow, ships product end to end, from wireframes to production.

Our AI stack
We've worked closely with AI since before the LLM era: a published research paper, then years building in the space. This is the infrastructure that lets a small team ship like a big one, and run models ourselves for IP-sensitive work. (Yes, they're tools. That's the leverage.)
Conductor.build
Agent orchestration
Our cockpit for running a fleet of coding agents in parallel. The conductor to their orchestra.
Claude Code
Pair engineer · always on
Writes, refactors, and reviews with us in the terminal. Reads the whole codebase before its first coffee.
Codex
Second opinion
An independent reviewer on every change. We ship nothing it hasn't tried to pick apart.
Promptfoo
Evals, by the numbers
Graded test runs on every AI feature. Vibes don't ship; scores do.
Local models
Private inference
Open models on a 128GB Apple-silicon box, so IP-sensitive code and data never leave the building.
RunPod
Dedicated GPUs · 24/7
Dedicated GPU instances running models around the clock, so capacity is never the bottleneck.
Second brain
Project memory
A Mac mini that never forgets: Hermes + gbrain index every project, so context is one query away.
Curated skills
Sharpened on real work
A hand-picked library of agent skills, tuned on real client builds and reused across projects.
