WanderWhale Travel Portal

Problem

The travel platform needed reliable search, pricing and checkout workflows while preserving transactional accuracy through payment reconciliation. I built and optimized these application flows as part of the professional delivery team.

Architecture

• React frontend connected to Node.js application services.
• ElasticSearch powered search and discovery experiences.
• PostgreSQL stored transactional data; Redis provided application caching.
• Application services handled pricing, bookings and payment reconciliation as production business flows.

My contribution

• Built and optimized travel workflows for discovery, multi-currency pricing, checkout and payment reconciliation.
• Improved application performance and usability across mobile and desktop interfaces.
• Supported production backend services and application deployments as part of the delivery team.

Engineering decisions & results

• Connected ElasticSearch discovery to pricing and booking workflows so users could move from search to checkout.
• Handled payment reconciliation alongside booking records to support transactional accuracy.
