Project History

Dynamic Pricing for Kiwi.com

http://www.kiwi.com

Led the project as an owner, being responsible for both product part and end-to-end delivery and the overall success of this feature as well as for the combination engine and delivery platforms for travel content.

An engine utilizing machine learning, AI, and other automated methods like multi-armed bandit implementation for dynamic pricing of trillions of transportation combinations, including flights, trains, and buses.

We have tried to utilize as much automation as possible in a market where every millisecond and every dollar matters and competition is extremely fierce. This brought not only results in company growth but a huge understanding of customer needs and behavior.
