Resend made it incredibly easy to send transactional emails with great deliverability. Their developer-friendly API and fast integration helped me set up welcome and notification emails in minutes.

I chose PHP because it’s lightweight, reliable, and fast to implement for server-side logic. It gave me full control over how the backend works and let me move quickly without unnecessary overhead.

I picked AWS for hosting and infrastructure because of its scalability and reliability. It’s flexible, and I trust it to keep everything running smoothly as Controol grows.

I integrated OpenAI to provide smart suggestions and guidance within the app. It helps users better understand how to organize their money and gives personalized insights based on their behavior — making Controol feel more like a conversation than a spreadsheet.

I used Cursor to write, test, and iterate on code faster. It was super helpful when refining logic, debugging, and keeping focus during long coding sessions.
