Worked extensively on the Financial-Times/content-tree repository, delivering a suite of backend features and enhancements focused on robust content transformation and rendering. Leveraging Go, XML, and JSON, they developed libraries to convert external XHTML into structured content trees, expanded support for complex elements like tables and ClipSets, and improved data fidelity across transformation pipelines. Their approach emphasized code organization, maintainability, and test coverage, including refactoring for schema flexibility and updating documentation. They addressed edge cases in XML parsing, streamlined data models, and managed versioning, resulting in more reliable content processing, easier extension, and improved workflows for both editors and downstream systems.
