• Addressed Hydration and Rendering Issues: Focused on deduplication of sources and HTML escaping in Markdown processing.
• Created Top-200 Pairbags in MDX Format: Detailed methods for merging units and generating hydrated MDX files.
• Streamlined Data Ingestion Workflows: Structured approach using CLI commands for optimizing data processing.
• Implemented Cohorts in Review Systems: Explored the concept of cohorts for organizing activities in a time-based format.

Achievements

• Successfully refactored and enhanced the Markdown processing pipeline.
• Improved code readability and functionality for various functions and commands.
• Established a clearer understanding of data filtering and automation processes.
