A curated collection of anonymized, professional artifacts that demonstrate my approach to real-world software engineering problem-solving.
This repository focuses on the process of engineering—reasoning, debugging, and risk evaluation—rather than production code.
To document and share my engineering methodology through real or simulated cases involving:
- Debugging complex systems under uncertainty
- Evaluating tradeoffs and risks before deploying changes
- Structuring investigations and documenting findings
- Writing postmortems and mitigation plans that drive learning
- Designing safe rollouts, guardrails, and fallback mechanisms
Each entry highlights not just what was done, but why. Emphasizing decision-making, system thinking, and reproducibility.
Each case follows a consistent narrative format:
- Summary: One-paragraph overview of the issue and its significance.
- Context: What system, service, or feature was involved.
- Problem Statement: What symptoms appeared, how impact was measured.
- Investigation: Key steps, hypotheses, evidence, and tests.
- Decision: What options were considered and why one was chosen or deferred.
- Risk & Tradeoff Analysis: Technical, operational, or user-level implications.
- Mitigation & Handoff: Immediate fixes or follow-up actions.
- Outcome & Learnings: Observed impact and how it improved process or reliability.
add – for new case studies, artifacts, or diagrams
update – for edits or additions within an existing case
refactor – for reorganizing folder structure or naming
fix – for small corrections (typos, broken links, formatting)
meta – for README, repo setup, templates, or conventions
remove – for deleting old or redundant files
- All examples are anonymized and generalized to protect any company or client data.
- No proprietary source code, credentials, or internal documentation is included.
- Some artifacts are reconstructed or simulated to demonstrate reasoning, not actual production code.
