Airbyte

Devised and executed the content strategy for the "Data Engineering Resources" section of the company blog, leading to a significant boost in organic traffic with several thousand monthly page views. This strategy involved comprehensive keyword research, meticulous editing, and the management of publication schedules.

Initiated and currently manage the "Quickstarts" initiative, a library of project examples that streamline data stack deployment. I personally developed the inaugural Quickstart, established contribution guidelines, and scaled the library to over 20 projects by motivating community engagement through a hackathon.

Authored influential thought leadership articles, achieving notable recognition with features on the front page of HackerNews, underscoring the depth of industry expertise.

Elevated the technical content quality, contributing to Airbyte’s stature as a hub for engineering insights and attracting top-tier engineering talent, in line with the company's brand vision.
