Core CV
The synthetic résumé they were seeded from.
"Manages products whose users are largely technical or whose value depends on architecture decisions. Translates between engineering constraints and customer outcomes, owns non-functional requirements such as latency, reliability and data integrity, sequences migrations and technical debt against feature work, and holds security and privacy requirements inside product scope rather than outside it."
