Example phrasing

Strong — specific, evidenced, role-appropriate

“Owned the queue-migration project from design doc through cutover, took p95 latency from 380ms to 90ms, ran a clean on-call rotation across the year, and reviewed PRs at a higher quality bar than the team average (substantive feedback on architecture, not just style nits).”

Weak — vague, unevidenced, generic

“Strong engineer, ships consistently.”
