## Case studies

- [Finding the real failure behind a misleading financial API error](https://jordaoqualho.com/work/financial-onboarding-incident.md): On a financial platform with 7M+ active users, customers were blocked in onboarding by a provider error that did not match the original failure. I traced the request path and isolated the first error.
- [Investigating database timeouts under e-commerce traffic](https://jordaoqualho.com/work/ecommerce-scalability.md): After an AWS-to-GCP migration, a high-traffic e-commerce backend started timing out against the database under load. I tested pooling, caching, cold starts and autoscaling before proposing changes.
- [Standing up a shared React system for a US healthcare team](https://jordaoqualho.com/work/frontend-infrastructure.md): A US healthcare product needed a shared React foundation and a delivery path. In a short advisory engagement, I built the component system, micro-frontend integration and baseline AWS/ArgoCD workflow.
