How I approach a system
Requirements
Define the user, the workload, and what failure costs. Establish the latency, reliability, and operational budgets before selecting tools.
Implementation
Build a vertical slice, instrument it, and test the failure paths. Prefer explicit contracts over hidden coupling.
Operations
Document the recovery path, make the important states visible, and turn operational learning into the next iteration.
Projects and demos
The project collection includes visual simulations, machine learning explainers, and independent apps, with credits to their creators.
