- Build systems that are safe under liveops pressure: remote config, event launches, timed campaigns, content updates, rollbacks, partial failures, and client/server version mismatches.
- Design APIs and data flows that are backwards compatible with live mobile clients and resilient to retries, duplicate requests, bad network conditions, and stale client state.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues involving logs, metrics, traces, database state, Redis state, service health, client reports, and live player impact.

- Improve backend architecture, operational visibility, test coverage, deployment safety, and engineering quality through thoughtful design and code review.
- Participate in incident response and post-launch support for live features, especially during high-volume events, releases, and time-sensitive campaigns.
