Building a next-generation personalised children’s book platform that turns every child into the hero of their own story.

Key achievements and features:

• Automated book creation pipeline: Developed a Python-based system to assemble character layers, backgrounds, and fonts into full storybooks.

• Dynamic personalisation: Supports customisable characters (hair, skin tone, clothing, body type) and family details so every book is unique.

• Cloud architecture: Running on Google Cloud (GCP) with Firestore for schema management, Cloud Functions for automation, and GCS for asset storage.

• Production-ready assets: Ensured rigorous validation of thousands of 3D-rendered assets with automated tests for naming, colour layering, and completeness.

• Publishing workflow: Generates single pages, compiles into print-ready PDFs, and sends directly to publishers.

• Custom fonts & design: Integrated accessible and creative fonts (e.g. Atkinson Hyperlegible, HeyOctober) to maximise inclusivity and engagement.

• Scalability: Designed for mass customisation, reducing manual rendering hours and enabling thousands of books to be produced efficiently.

This platform combines creativity, technology, and automation to make personalised books affordable, scalable, and magical for families worldwide.​
