Technical Approach

Architecture

Design systems for maintainability and scale. Favor composition over inheritance. Keep services small and focused. Use the right tool for the job.

Delivery

Ship early, iterate fast. Comprehensive testing. Gradual rollouts. Monitor everything. Learn from production.

Collaboration

Clear documentation. Code reviews that teach. Cross-functional alignment. Share context widely. Default to transparency.

Impact

Understand business goals. Measure what matters. Optimize for user value. Balance speed and quality. Own outcomes, not output.
