Romain Cantin worked on the wellcomecollection/docs repository, delivering features across API design, content management, and documentation. He integrated exhibitions and curated collections into the Content API, enabling richer search and scalable content curation. His approach emphasized RFC-driven processes, hybrid indexing strategies, and clear technical documentation, using TypeScript and Markdown to ensure maintainability and traceability. Romain also led the transition from Prismic to more API-centric CMS solutions, documenting architectural decisions and workflows. His work established robust foundations for knowledge graph enrichment and improved catalogue discovery, demonstrating depth in system design, data modeling, and technical writing throughout the five-month period.
February 2026 monthly summary for wellcomecollection/docs: Focused on CMS strategy and documentation to optimize for Curated Collections with API-centric workflows.

February 2025: Delivered Exhibitions content integration and search enhancements in wellcomecollection/docs. Expanded the Content API to include Exhibitions, introduced a hybrid indexing strategy (exhibitions index plus inclusion in the events index), refined data formatting for filtering and display, and updated RFC/docs to reflect new indexing and querying capabilities. Documented indexing decisions and example usage to guide downstream applications and listings. These changes improve discoverability of exhibitions, enable richer listings, and establish a foundation for future enhancements.
