01 / Challenge
The problem to solve.
Large design files required coordinated processing across external services before users could access derived outputs. Failures, long-running operations, and third-party dependencies made visibility and recovery essential.
02 / Approach
How the work was shaped.
- Defined the processing stages, dependencies, failure paths, and expected outputs.
- Coordinated integration behaviour around asynchronous processing and third-party service constraints.
- Introduced clearer logging, alerts, and support information to make operational issues diagnosable.
03 / Delivery
Core delivery focus.
The work was structured around practical delivery stages rather than a single technical output.

04 / Outcome
What changed.
A more controlled and observable design-file processing workflow, enabling users to access generated outputs while reducing ambiguity when external processing failed or slowed.
