- Eliminated 100% of developer dependency for content updates by architecting a Payload CMS headless backend with 10 collections and 9 global singletons, slashing content workflow overhead by an estimated 90%.
- Engineered a high-performance, bilingual architecture across 10+ pages, replacing all legacy static data with dynamic CMS rendering to allow instant, non-technical staff updates.
- Designed and deployed a scalable production infrastructure by integrating Cloudflare R2 object storage with Payload’s media pipeline, implementing end-to-end testing via Vitest and Playwright to guarantee site stability and rapid asset loading.
