Engineering prototype prepared for HandleSenior + Forward Deployed
Engineering case study / Handle

A voice-driven insurance workflow that recovers safely.

Sapnix FlightDeck turns a live browser conversation into a validated commercial fleet renewal, produces three synthetic estimates, and demonstrates what happens when one carrier workflow changes mid-execution.

THE PROTOTYPE / LIVE ENTRY + SIMULATED CARRIERS

From voice intake
to safe recovery.

The signed-in demo creates a case only after a complete browser voice interview and explicit approval. It prices three synthetic carrier estimates, then injects a disclosed recovery test to demonstrate containment and idempotent replay.

01 / WHAT IT DEMONSTRATES

Four behaviors behind
the polished interface.

The interface is evidence for an execution model: observable state, isolated failure, checkpointed recovery, and an auditable external-effects record.

01
LIVE

Observe

Follow every agent, workflow branch, external action, and human decision in one live context.

02

Contain

Isolate a failing carrier integration without stopping safe work elsewhere in the case.

03
040506

Recover

Correct the integration once and resume from the last trusted checkpoint.

04

Prove

Replay the complete workflow and verify that no external action was duplicated.

02 / BEHAVIOR UNDER TEST

One case.
Every handoff preserved.

This is the production behavior the prototype explores: voice is the entry point, while every validated field, branch, external action, failure, approval, and recovered estimate remains attached to one operational context.

Inspect the proposed boundaries
01

Listen

A browser conversation becomes structured operational context.

02

Understand

Validated fleet, operations, losses, controls, and terms resolve into one canonical case.

03

Execute

Carrier adapters run in parallel with explicit safety boundaries.

04

Contain

A changed portal pauses only the branch that can no longer proceed safely.

05

Recover

A human correction is versioned and replay begins at the last checkpoint.

06

Prove

The final comparison includes a complete, replayable execution record.

03 / ENGINEERING DECISION

The question is not “can it retry?”
It is “can it recover safely?”

TRADITIONAL AUTOMATIONWorkflow stopped
  • 01 Retries without understanding the failure
  • 02 Stops unrelated work in the same case
  • 03 Risks duplicate external submissions
  • 04 Leaves operators searching through logs
PROTOTYPED APPROACHSafe work continues
  • 01 Classifies the failure before retrying
  • 02 Isolates only the affected branch
  • 03 Resumes with stable idempotency keys
  • 04 Presents evidence and a versioned repair
04 / PROPOSED SYSTEM DESIGN

Production-minded.
Intentionally simulated.

This prototype does not connect to Handle or any carrier. It maps the boundaries I would propose: browser-only interaction stays in the browser, secrets stay server-side, and shared operational state remains observable.

Why I built this
for these Handle roles.

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Own the execution model.

The demo makes architecture visible: durable orchestration, state transitions, idempotent effects, observability, failure isolation, and typed boundaries.

  • Durable orchestration
  • Idempotent external actions
  • Failure isolation
  • Typed server boundaries
INDEPENDENT INTERVIEW PROTOTYPE
