Distributed indexing pipelines that generated ~$576K/year

I designed Eventbrite's distributed indexing and sitemap pipelines with Airflow, dbt, and Snowflake: the full event catalog, filtered by eligibility and freshness, turned into indexing directives. Measured with controlled experimentation in Statsig: ~15% growth in organic impressions and ~$576K/year in incremental revenue.

Got a problem instead of a question?

If you would rather I build it with you than teach you to: I research the problem, ship the first version, and take it to production. You need no prior AI experience.
