Interview
summary
Built a full curation workflow for Medium from soup to nuts, inventing processes to meet the scale required and integrating Scala pipelines and some ML to automate selection. Architecture and system convergence drive decisions, favoring convention over configuration, composition over inheritance and relentless testing. The deliverable is a working curation stack tied into Medium’s business cases, with practical tradeoffs explained: why Scala speeds development, what parts required custom systems, and which automation actually reduced manual work.
