Traktoro – Search Engine Implementation

Theklatur GmbH, not having any software engineering resources of their own, contracted my company Utopia Refraktor for the design and implementation of a search engine website from the ground up. I conducted this project, coordinating a team of 5 junior developers as well as a number of subcontractors over a period of 6 months and implementing critical parts of the system myself.

The site traktoro.net gives users the ability to search through online offers of second-hand land machinery across a plethora of online marketplace and bulletin board websites.

Our implementation included several scrapers, backend-infrastructure for scheduling retrieval of content into a structured database in optimized time-intervals, as well as the search engine frontend.
