In team meetings, I actively offered insights and suggestions while keeping everyone updated on deadlines, designs, and enhancements. I skillfully led a team that included seasoned stakeholders. My contributions extended across various vital business applications. Notably, I took the lead in developing the B2B Booker Entity project, which ensures precise targeting of businesses on the B2B side and streamlines tracking for improved sales and revenue. Furthermore, I concentrated on optimizing the Pricing module by utilizing a rule engine to provide customers with the most suitable prices for their inquiries. This resulted in seamless system performance and consistent pricing across diverse internal applications, all while prioritizing scalability in development.

I played a pivotal role in the external integration process, aiming to enhance company revenue. Given the substantial scale of the integration, I assumed responsibility for all phases as the team leader, guaranteeing the delivery of an outstanding product. Additionally, I focused on elevating the performance of multiple services, particularly addressing challenges related to integrating numerous hotels into the system. Through meticulous analysis and collaborative efforts, we identified the core issues and implemented effective solutions, ensuring no future performance disruptions. This effort also led to cost savings in infrastructure expenses.

Another noteworthy project involved refining the corporate profile to cater to B2B operations more efficiently, ultimately enabling the company to generate higher revenue. We conducted a comprehensive risk assessment, made substantial module modifications, and integrated it with new services to accommodate future use cases. We also ensured that all B2B booking details were accurately linked to the corresponding profile, enabling us to generate precise invoices and facilitate a smoother process.

Furthermore, I contributed to a groundbreaking product focused on capturing B2B business through OTA (Online Travel Agency) integration, a previously unexplored area. As part of this initiative, we successfully integrated new B2B OTAs such as HyperGuest, HRS, and Hobse, resulting in a boost in revenue.

Key projects associated with this venture included Hawkeye, Su Integration, Rate Manager Performance Improvement, Company Profiles Tag, and B2B - Company Profile Sync.
