Decisions
Calls I'd make again
The decisions behind the work — each one is explained in a case study or story.
Make the AI optional
Nora Labs, Tourthon 2026
Every agent endpoint falls back to a deterministic engine, so an outage degrades quality, never availability.
Keep a 72-hour grace period before deleting evidence
Quintrix ITSO
LOW-tier degradation is irreversible, so segments wait in a review queue where an operator can restore them.
Host the event site for zero cost
InFocus SLUG 2025
A results site that matters for one season doesn't need a monthly bill — free hosting with a sensible fallback plan.
Draw before coding
The Part Timer
A 42-sheet drawing set found the escrow and no-show edge cases before they became bugs.
Write in Sinhala first
Networking hub & SRE labs
Explain the idea in the language people think in, keep the English terms they'll be examined on.
