The Problem

A legacy Perl-based automation system was becoming unmaintainable, slowing down critical engineering workflows and lacking test coverage.

What I Built

Ported the entire logic to Python 3, following clean code principles and implementing a comprehensive test suite with 90%+ coverage.

Key Technical Decisions

Prioritized bit-for-bit output parity with the legacy system during the transition, allowing for a phased and safe cutover without service interruption.

Challenges & Learning

Reverse engineering complex business rules embedded in ancient scripts with no existing documentation.
