  1. 01 · The problem

    A national retail client needed a consumer application on both platforms, on a fixed schedule.

  2. 02 · What I decided

    Directed a cross-functional team rather than writing all of it. At that scale the constraint is coordination, not code, and my value was in unblocking four people rather than being the fifth.

  3. 03 · The outcome

    Shipped on both platforms at consumer traffic volumes.
