Code Examples

Built for the Motley Fool

• Built a custom Wagtail CMS block in Python/Django that lets editors choose which product or issuer to collect reader reviews for, and customize the text and buttons.

• Kept the review form out of the initial page HTML: clicking a static "Write a Review" button injects the form with JavaScript, along with its Cloudflare Turnstile bot check, so scrapers never find a form to spam and the check loads only for readers who choose to write a review.

• Stored environment-specific secrets for Turnstile, ZeroBounce, and Airtable in AWS Secrets Manager.

• Reduced invalid reviews by validating emails with ZeroBounce, handling failures gracefully, and blocking duplicate entries without a page refresh.

• Built GitHub Actions workflows to deploy environment-specific Cloudflare Workers.

• Wrote HTTP client tests to spot-check connectivity across environments.
