What Stuart built
-
The data model
Mapped an institution's structure (faculty, course, unit and cohort) to a schema that supports nested discussion without duplicating content.
-
Queries that hold up
Indexed and rewrote the hot paths so busy thread and space listings stay fast as the archive grows semester after semester.
-
Search across the archive
Built full-text search over threads and replies, which is what turns years of past discussion into something actually reusable.
-
Safe migrations
Owned every schema change from development to production, versioned and reversible, with no data loss on the way.
