Designing a Scalable Event Directory Platform
•10 min read
Building a centralized place for athletes to discover races required solving several technical challenges: real-time data scraping, efficient search, and a clean user experience.
Data Pipeline
Automated scrapers pull event data from Ironman and Spartan websites. Built with Python and robust error handling for when sources change.
Search System
Designed search and filtering systems for thousands of events. Users don't care about your tech stack—they care if the search is fast and results make sense.
User Experience
Role-based dashboards for athletes, admins, and super admins. Clean UX—athletes shouldn't need a manual to find a race.
