A financial news site that writes, illustrates, films and publishes itself
A newsroom with nobody in it: over a hundred articles a day, market analysis every day, week and month, and short videos for the social channels.

Problem
A news product normally needs a newsroom: writers, an editor, a designer, a social team. I wanted to see how far one engineer and a pipeline could go instead.
What I built
- A cron pipeline that pulls S&P 500 news and writes per-article summaries plus a daily market analysis: direction, confidence, drivers, risks, sector outlooks, strategy.
- Illustrations through a Pexels to DALL·E pipeline into Cloudinary.
- Short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, about 30 posts a day on Telegram, and automatic replies in some channels.
- Around the news: market games, quizzes, weekly and monthly analytics.
- Admin dashboard, role-based auth, PIPEDA and CASL compliance.
How it works
Next.js front end with structured data, sitemaps and fast pages, so search engines treat it as a real publication. GPT-4o-mini writes, cron pipelines schedule, Cloudinary serves media, a Telegram bot broadcasts. New videos now include short animated pieces.

Results
Live since February 2026 and still growing: several deploys a month with new or improved features, and a desktop PageSpeed score of 92.
My role
Everything: product, design, code, pipelines and operations.
