Architecture I can explain
- ✓Backpressure/drop-spill policy under load
Repo Mastery evidence
- ✓Payments service mastery map (verified)
AI change-review evidence
- ✓OpenThunder auth-refactor verification (verified)
Communication readiness (STT + Rooms)
- ✓STT architecture-explanation drill: 'strong'
Gaps to address before applying
- △Add one front-end-heavy proof artifact to balance the packet
Interview prep actions
- ◈Review realtime pipeline design talking points
Attached proof artifacts
3 verified pieces of evidence
Realtime pipeline mission: SkillsTech IDE
SkillsTech IDE✓ Verified
Completed a SkillsTech mission building a backpressure-aware realtime ingestion pipeline against a real repo.
- ›Implemented bounded queues with drop/spill policy under load
- ›Added end-to-end tracing and a load test proving 8k msg/s sustained
- ›Documented the failure taxonomy and on-call runbook
System Design ReadinessCodebase Ownership
Auth refactor: AI change verification
OpenThunder✓ Verified
Reviewed and verified a large AI-generated auth refactor, catching a token-scope regression before merge.
- ›Identified an AI-introduced scope-widening bug across 12 files
- ›Wrote the differential test that pinned the correct scope behavior
- ›Produced an OpenThunder change-verification report signed off by 2 reviewers
AI Change VerificationCodebase Ownership
Payments service: codebase mastery
Repo Mastery✓ Verified
Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a 60k-LOC payments service: data flow, failure modes, and idempotency guarantees.
- ›Traced a charge from API edge → ledger write → webhook reconciliation
- ›Explained idempotency-key design and retry safety under partial failure
- ›Mapped the money-movement invariants enforced across 4 modules
