Back-of-the-envelope estimation: Practiced calculating system throughput and capacity requirements for large-scale applications. 3. Malaysia Runner List Aggregator Revival Full-scale refactor of the scraper, API, and client. Introduced a Monorepo structure to streamline local development and setup. Enhanced technical documentation to future-proof the architecture for upcoming microservices. (AI generated haha)
