highlighted case studies
all 12 →Designing a single computation path for a cross-service metric
Two services independently calculated the same customer-facing metric, causing inconsistent data. I redesigned the architecture so only one service owned the calculation while every other service simply signaled stale data.
impact: Removed race conditions · Simplified architecture · Improved customer trust
Introducing a Design System where none existed
Identified the absence of frontend standards, proposed a Design System, built it from scratch and taught the team how to adopt it.
impact: Standardized frontend development · Reduced duplicated components · Became frontend reference
