DESIGN OVERVIEW — This unit ships in four operating modes from a single codebase. It is specified end-to-end: it writes the software, models the data, pipelines it, and runs it on infrastructure it provisioned itself.
I build things that survive contact with real users and real data. My work sits at the intersection of software engineering and data systems — I write production code, but I also care deeply about what the data says, how it flows, and where it lives at 3 a.m. when a job fails.
Hardware taught me to respect constraints. Software taught me to move fast. This unit runs both lessons at once.

How this unit verifies its own work — because shipping is not the same as done.
| CHECK | METHOD |
|---|---|
| Code correctness | Unit tests for logic that can break |
| Data correctness | Row counts, null audits, schema checks before and after every load |
| Reproducibility | Clean clone → one command → running |
| Operability | Logs, error messages a human can read, documented failure modes |
| Knowledge transfer | Every repo has a README that a stranger can follow |
