Leading the architectural transformation of the chapter web infrastructure to resolve performance bottlenecks and improve long-term maintainability. The work focuses on migrating from a slow server-side static rendering model to a modern client-side dynamic approach with cloud-managed data.

Key Initiatives

Infrastructure Modernization: Re-architected rendering flow to shift expensive work from constrained hosting to client-side execution, improving load times and overall UX.
Database Migration and Integration: Implemented Supabase as backend-as-a-service, replacing hardcoded content with a scalable data layer for rapid updates.
DevOps Workflow Optimization: Built a dynamic content management pipeline that allows non-technical members to publish website updates without developer intervention.
