Production containers kept crashing: code inherited from outside contractors was leaking memory. The crashes had to stop without stopping the product.
Result
Architecture stabilised in two weeks — production stopped crashing.

Kubernetes before New Year
Infrastructure
Task
A new marketing round meant a projected 10× spike at New Year; the old infrastructure couldn’t take it. In three weeks — full migration, monitoring, production support, a runbook for the team on how to operate and respond, and a self-healing agent with clear escalation limits.
Result
0 seconds of downtime across the whole New Year period at 10× traffic.
