The work I’m proudest of from JamesWay, framed as problem → approach → outcome. Swap each bracket for the real story.
The problem
When I started, [describe the pain point / gap / opportunity]. This mattered because [who it affected and why].
In numbers: [baseline metric, e.g. “X requests/day”, “Y minutes of manual work”, “Z% error rate”].
What I built
The main project: [project name] — [one-line description of what it is].
Key pieces:
- [Component / feature 1 and what it does]
- [Component / feature 2 and what it does]
- [Component / feature 3 and what it does]
The approach
- Design: [key design decision and the tradeoff behind it]
- Stack: [languages / frameworks / services used here]
- Hard part: [the trickiest technical challenge and how you solved it]
- Collaboration: [who you worked with — review, design, cross-team]
Before and after
| Dimension | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| [metric, e.g. latency] | [before value] | [after value] |
| [metric, e.g. manual steps] | [before value] | [after value] |
| [metric, e.g. coverage] | [before value] | [after value] |
Impact
- [Quantified outcome, e.g. “cut processing time from X to Y”]
- [Adoption / usage outcome]
- [Anything that shipped to production / customers]
What I learned
[A lesson or two — technical or about how the team worked — that you carried forward.]
