02 — A note from our principal engineer
“Eighteen years on the production-cutover side of the network teaches you one thing above all: the engineer who knows how to roll back is the engineer you want holding the keyboard. Every engagement here is senior, rehearsed, and reversible — because the work has to be right the first time.”
