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.
