Overview
Poblysh is a powerful newsroom and publishing platform engineered for modern media teams to effortlessly create, manage, and distribute high-impact content. As Co-Founder & Lead Engineer, I architected and built the core platform from concept to production — optimizing workflows, AI-assisted features, and a scalable infrastructure that enables publishers to go live faster with less effort.
Poblysh dramatically reduces newsroom setup time and complexity. Tasks that once took 30–45 minutes — like creating a newsroom and publishing the first article — now take ~4–5 minutes thanks to automated workflows and intelligent defaults. The platform empowers editorial teams with tools that streamline content creation and audience reach.
