Portfolio

Collection of implemented cases: initial conditions, engineering decisions made, and measurable results. Focus on system reliability, performance, accessibility, and delivery speed.

How I Work

  • Decomposition into goals and metrics; SLA agreement.
  • Architectural solutions with risk assessment and phasing.
  • Observability: logs/traces/metrics, error budgets.
  • Short iterations, CI/CD, regression control.

What's Inside Cases

  • Context and constraints.
  • Decisions made and architecture.
  • Key implementations and tools.
  • Results in numbers and conclusions.
