Connection Risk Estimate Software for SafeConnect

A risk API to be integrated by an online travel agency to rate connecting flights in real time. The ratings help users book the most suitable flight options.

My contributions to this project involved developing the risk API as a Python Django web application and a PostgreSQL database.

Spline Curve Calculations Library

The Curve library is a numeric library that performs spline curve calculations on a point data set. The splines constructed are interpolated and constrain third-order smooth splines. The library is specially designed to be suitable for evaluating real data sets obtained with instruments or methods that may have a high level of uncertainty. Due to that reason, the data need to be processed accurately, considering the possibility of having poorly distributed data.

Competitive Benchmarking for Airlines and Online Travel Agencies

Developed software in Python, PostgreSQL, and Pandas to create over 40 unique report formats, offering airlines and online travel agencies the ability to understand their competitive position route by route. Benchmarked various dates, origins and destinations, markets, and currencies. Ensured the unique fare benchmarking of each airline itinerary offered by online travel agencies to know strictly at what price your flights are being sold and by whom. Conducted one-shot campaigns or continuous benchmarking.
