01 / THE PRODUCT & MY ROLE

A global audience.
A web platform built to keep up.

I joined as the only engineer on Turing’s web team and owned the main website and job board end to end. Working with SEO, product, and content teams, I helped build the foundation for a web team that grew to six or seven engineers, and interviewed and hired into it.

THE PUBLISHING PIPELINE

From structured content to discoverable pages.

  1. 01

    Create

    Collaborate with content, SEO, and product teams.

  2. 02

    Connect

    Use Contentful and NestJS endpoints in the content pipeline.

  3. 03

    Generate

    Produce pages with Next.js static generation and incremental regeneration.

  4. 04

    Reach

    Serve high-intent search queries across roles and specialisms.

The SEO page generation system produced more than 6,000 pages ranking on Google’s first page for high-intent queries.

02 / ENGINEERING DECISIONS

Scale the content. Protect the experience.

01

Build a publishing system, not individual pages.

A website and job board serving a global talent network needed to support a broad range of roles and search queries.

I built the SEO page generation system with Next.js SSG and ISR, connecting the frontend to Contentful and NestJS endpoints. That made the publishing pipeline part of the engineering work I owned.

02

Treat performance as product quality.

The high-traffic pages started with zero percent of URLs rated Good for Core Web Vitals. I began this work without prior expertise in the area.

Through lazy loading, dynamic imports, image optimization, service workers, and removing layout shift, I brought that figure to one hundred percent across high-traffic pages.

03

Give a growing team a quality baseline.

The web team grew from a single engineer to six or seven, while the properties served more than one million visitors a month.

Alongside interviewing and hiring, I established a testing strategy that reached 85% coverage. My ownership spanned the public interface and the content pipeline behind it.
