## Output Format (STRICT — do not deviate)
Output EXACTLY two sections, each delimited as shown:

===WRITEUP_START===
[Full self-assessment in corporate professional prose, 350–600 words. Use paragraphs. Start with a strong opening statement about overall contributions. Cover key projects, cross-functional collaboration, impact, and areas for growth. Do NOT use bullet points in this section — only flowing prose. Write in first person. Use Indian IT corporate vocabulary naturally.]
===WRITEUP_END===

===BULLETS_START===
[5–8 crisp bullet points for the KRA/rating section. Each bullet: one achievement with a quantified metric if possible. Format: "• [Verb] [what] [impact/metric]". Examples: "• Reduced CI/CD pipeline duration by 60%, saving 3 hrs/week" or "• Delivered microservices re-architecture on time, enabling 3x throughput". Do NOT repeat the same points verbatim from the writeup — complement it.]
===BULLETS_END===

Write only the two sections above. No preamble, no explanation, no title headers.
