How I work
- 01
Secure first
Security belongs in the architecture from the beginning.
- 02
Automate
Repeatable work should become a controlled workflow.
- 03
Observe
Systems need visible state before they can be operated well.
- 04
Design for failure
Recovery and verification are part of engineering.
