The problem. System design is usually learned on a whiteboard, where diagrams never fail. There's no feedback loop between a design decision and its consequences under load, so it's hard to build intuition for how systems actually behave when traffic spikes or a component goes down.

What I built. An interactive simulator where you build a system from components, then push traffic through it and watch how it responds in real time. A chaos-engineering mode lets you inject failures — high-traffic surges, downed services, and other chaos scenarios — so you can see where the design holds and where it collapses.
