Philosophy
Engineering Principles
Reliability First
Systems that don't break. Redundancy, monitoring, and rigorous testing at every layer.
Business Impact
Code that moves metrics. Every line should tie back to user value or revenue.
Simplicity Wins
Clear over clever. Readable, maintainable code that the next engineer can pick up fast.
Ownership
End-to-end responsibility. From spec to production to post-mortem — I own it.
