Experience

Itinerary App Automation with Advanced AI Features

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aONu4t6tVBVb3CmKOa8y7Xjwcp-aMKmb/view?usp=sharing
I built a custom non-thinking model, fed by real-time AI code generator agents, that automates complex travel itinerary decisions previously handled manually by travel specialists.

Before this new AI back end, every itinerary required human-crafted rules and field population; now, 85%+ of the itinerary is AI-driven, with agents interpreting natural-language business rules and itinerary context. I designed specialized background AI agents using the OpenAI platform (GPT-5 Mini) and Google Vertex AI (Gemini) to transform rule descriptions into executable Python logic for the rule engine, achieving a 90%+ time reduction in creating each travel itinerary and a 95%+ error reduction. The architecture is designed for multi-model AI orchestration. At the same time, the core back end runs on Python and FastAPI and integrates with a Node.js itinerary app for consumption and real-time itinerary outputs.
