The two “ask me live” items became agenda items, the interview was booked and held, and the recap folded the answers back onto Dana's profile — one object, start to finish.
The two open threads from Dana's profile came into the interview as agenda items.
A 28-minute call covering Dana's event-driven work at Kestrel Pay and the flowqueue design, then straight to the two agenda items. Both were answered on the call — no new claims were opened, and nothing was scored. The notes below fold back onto the same profile.
Dana walked through it: batching ledger writes and moving the hot path off the synchronous confirm call cut p99 by ~40% on the payments API — the same pattern behind flowqueue. Priya noted the before/after dashboards were shared on screen.
The numbers measure different things: the 3.2 yrs is contiguous open-source activity on the linked GitHub; the 5 yrs includes earlier closed-source backend work at a prior employer that never touched public repos. Dana offered to add that employer as a referee.
Evidence, AI, and this interview all live on Dana's one Alterview — nothing was copied out, nothing left the object.
