I worked as the UI lead and lead developer in a greenfield project for Booking.com. The project involved building a progressive web app for international drivers to use for pre-booked taxis using the supplier network of BookingGo.

Within a month, the project grew from an initial MVP consisting of a few drivers to hundreds of drivers spanning Amsterdam, Prague, and Barcelona. The tech stack used mainly focused on Node.js, React/Redux deployed on AWS, Docker for local development, CI, AWS Kinesis, Cognito, ECS, Lambda, and RDS.

This project involved a greenfield application that collected government data on buildings with CBRE's own valuation data and presented it on a platform to help surveyors create reports and make informed deals.

I had a heavy full-stack role using React, Redux, GraphQL, Python, Mapbox, and PostGIS. I was also responsible for setting up a microservice architecture on AWS for deployment using Lambda and ECS.

This is a single eCommerce platform, built in React/Redux, that supports seven different brands. I was responsible for the front-end on the product lists and setting up the architecture to ensure a single codebase for all of the brands with different features and branding.

During my time here, I also took up lead roles in seasonal campaigns such as Topshop/Topman for London Fashion Week and the launch of Beyonce's brand, Ivy Park.

For an agency project, I worked as the lead developer for a new project for Brookz, the largest business merger and acquisition platform in the Netherlands. Here I renewed their website and CMS using various back- and front-end technologies.

As a senior developer, I joined Trainline at the early stage of a digital transformation process and formed much of the architecture used today for several projects. These projects include some core components on the Trailine.com website and mostly the secure My Account section where customers log in and are able to apply for refunds, change journeys, and print receipts. The project was developed alongside new APIs and was heavily based on TypeScript, React, Redux, RxJS, and Node.js.

After this, I worked on a call-center application where I had a leading UI role. The app was built for customer service; it could retrieve customer data and apply similar actions as customers. This project also used the same tech stack.
