A search rebuild the whole team could own.

01 / Opening

02 / The approach

Make the evaluation visible

Built the evaluation workflow used to review relevance changes before release, giving the team a shared way to assess a ranking change.

03 / The handover

Build ownership into the rollout

Mentored four engineers through design reviews, rollout and independent system ownership; made the handover part of the engineering work.
