A personal growth roadmap focused on architecture, system design, AI-enabled engineering, production readiness, API/DX, algorithms, and security-aware engineering.
| Goal | Competency Area | What I want to strengthen | Why it matters | Evidence / Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Architecture & System Design Ownership | System Design | End-to-end design, system boundaries, data flow, scalability, reliability, failure modes | Strong product / FAANG-like companies expect engineers to understand the whole system, not only implementation tasks | 2–3 system design writeups, participation in design discussions, architecture diagrams |
| 1. Architecture & System Design Ownership | Architecture Decisions | ADR, alternatives, consequences, risks, assumptions, constraints | Shows mature engineering thinking and makes technical decisions transparent for the team | 5–10 ADRs or technical decision notes |
