Timeline

[Add anonymized product image or recreated UI]03

Project details, identifiers, visuals, and metrics have been generalized to respect confidentiality.

The challenge

Turning complexity into a product people can trust.

Bulk generation created long-running requests, provider limits, and failure scenarios that a synchronous request-response flow could not handle safely.

My approach

Designed from the system out.

01

Moved generation into queued background jobs with controlled worker concurrency.

02

Designed progress states, retries, and failure handling so users could track work without blocking the application.

03

Separated web traffic from compute-heavy generation to improve resilience and operational control.
