## Instrumentation

Smaller shipped work, listed on the [work index](https://pavlopuzikov.com/work) without individual case studies:

- Sales-floor screen: an unattended eleven-screen kiosk dashboard on an 85-inch office TV at BARNES Dubai, over the brokerage's Salesforce data. Contribution was an audit-and-fix pass plus a photo-quality gate on someone else's codebase, not authorship.
- Desk dashboards: two always-on Windows desktop panels (Rainmeter plus PowerShell daemons) tracking model-usage headroom, git activity, deploy-host uptime, GPU VRAM, and local inference cost.
