Architecture & Approach
Scaled a Next.js + Sanity CMS platform to 200,000+ users on Vercel. Led integration of Typesense vector search to replace basic keyword search, improving search precision by roughly 60%. Added serverless caching with Upstash Redis and shipped custom lazy-loaded YouTube embeds, which cut operational costs by about 19%, lifted the Lighthouse performance score by roughly 20 points, and improved conversions by about 15%.
Key Result
200K+ users · 60% better search precision · 19% lower infra cost
