I infer that I grokked the concepts pretty well. A key part of my grokking process is
to build prototypes myself: in this case I built a small embedded app that made use
of facades and backends.
* [Case study guidelines](https://web.archive.org/web/20230314030711/https://web.dev/handbook/case-study-guidelines/).
I created these guidelines for web.dev contributors back when I was content lead
for that site.

This tutorial is an example of my ability to do holistic, user-focused thinking.
Chrome DevTools is a complex product with many, many features. In this tutorial I
focused on a real user need (figuring out how to make a website faster) and explained
all the features within DevTools that can help users achieve that goal, tying all the
features together into a holistic workflow. I created a sample app in React so that
users could get hands-on experience with all the tools. I hosted the sample app on an
free and easy-to-use hosting service (Glitch) to ensure that all users could access
the hands-on experience. Last, I made the tutorial fun! Check out the story about
Tony the cat to see for yourself.
* [Case study guidelines]. I created these guidelines for web.dev contributors back
when I was content lead for that site. Case studies were very important for getting
enterprise partners to adopt new web platform technologies. A lot of Googlers in
partner-interfacing roles wanted to write case studies, but the writing quality was
all across the board. I created these guidelines to set quality expectations and
help potential contributors figure out how to create high-quality case studies. This
is one of many examples of my experience with scaling up docs quality beyond myself.
