Driving Retention Through Personalization
Dynamic recommendation modules and behavior-driven interface patterns were introduced to improve user engagement and encourage longer viewing sessions.

We designed a centralized admin dashboard that enables content teams to manage uploads, categories, publishing schedules, analytics, subscriptions, and user moderation through a streamlined interface.
