ClickUp — Programmatic Page Generation

Engineering Manager, Growth

An overarching program — not a single project — that grew from early LLM content experiments into four connected sub-programs that compounded on each other. Scaled the site from roughly 500 pages to 100,000+, with the pipeline capable of publishing 10,000 pages a day. Built pipelines for SEO long-tail, Template Center, paid landing pages, and a Remix self-service endpoint that let content teams generate campaign variants without engineering.
