What I'm working on – at work and on the side – aswin's blog


March 2025, I was considering doing something: Considering to expand and merge a couple of my drafts:— aswin c (@chandanaveli) March 12, 2025 1. Draft titled "Design, analysis, and operations of my (internal) app" (Web apps, software engineering, browser automation, SAML, polling, animations) 2.

Maximus has left me feeling like I delivered this project from 0→1: I’ve led it, scaled it, seen my “brilliant solutions” become tech debt, etc., not only technically but also strategically, such as in discovering the next step and plan, the people to talk to, the kind of impression the team should keep, etc. Personally, I feel I undervalue the impact of this thing: the report might be sitting on the desks of executives at major global companies, world’s chip manufacturers, top banks, and many other places where a lot of other important decisions are made. This hasn’t been used in production for its intended use, but the database was found to have another use - to act as a performant source for some dashboarding and analytics, which worked well and reached the Vice President’s slide deck on the recent leadership summit.
