Things you can actually look at.

A travel itinerary platform built advisor-first. An advisor builds a client's trip and publishes it; the client reads it on their phone, chooses between the options offered, and adds their own notes as they travel.

• Domain model and permissions — membership rather than ownership decides who can do what, and a person on a trip needs no account.
• Backend architecture: a Hono API over PostgreSQL with Drizzle, Redis and BullMQ for background work.
• Separate traveller, advisor and admin applications over shared data-access, permissions and UI packages — plus the iOS app, a Capacitor shell with a one-command App Store release pipeline.
• The booking import pipeline: forward a confirmation email or upload a PDF, Claude extracts the items, and nothing lands on a trip until someone approves it.
• Trip messaging — planning, travel-party and per-item threads whose rosters derive from trip roles, live over server-sent events.

A consumer gifting product — buy a gift card to any place, send it, redeem it. I led the rebuild of the buyer experience, and have been brought back since for successive workstreams — the calendar, contacts, and gift recommendation systems built on top of it.

• Led the consumer rebuild — checkout, redemption, and account moved off ERB and AngularJS onto Vue pages, one flow at a time behind experiments. I wrote the technical spec and was the largest single contributor to a frontend several engineers shared.
• Built the recipient side end to end: the gift landing page, four ways to take the money out — bank transfer, PayPal, a mailed cheque, a virtual card — and the thank-you note back to the sender.
• Took friction out of the buyer path: checkout state moved off the client and onto the backend, a multi-item cart shipped on top of it in staged rollouts, and the password removed entirely in favour of a magic link or a typed code.
• Built the buyer's self-service tools — order status, resend, cancel even after a gift is opened, buy again — which took a whole class of request out of the support queue.
• Built multi-place gifts: city-scoped place search and category chips in the customizer, composing several businesses into one card, and the product pages behind them.
• Primary author of the calendar and contacts systems — recurring events, invitations and a reminder pipeline that materialises scheduled instances for email and SMS; contacts that hold interests and locations on the recipient's own profile, including people who never sign up.
• Wrote the gift recommendation engine, effectively alone: interest and tag matching over embeddings, local place search, and a deterministic bucket ranking that replaced a blended score.
• Built the internal fraud review tool — a decision surface with claiming, reviewer feedback, and signal grouping — and the pipeline that assembles chargeback evidence for Stripe.
