Senior Software Engineer

ISG eSolutions isgesolutions.com

ISG eSolutions is a specialized provider of hospitality solutions to various hotels and restaurants in India and abroad. They also provide travel solutions, both web and desktop based, to several UK based travel websites. As a senior engineer on the engineering team, I led development efforts, designed and implemented platform architecture, and managed other engineering team members

• Developed competitor analysis platform to analyze and report current prices and routes being offered by other players in the lowcost flights market. The system was built using phantom.js to write web scrapers that ran at specified intervals to scrape competitor websites to discover and report back with prices for programmed routes.
• Developed a low latency, highly available web feed to be consumed by a travel metasearch engine. This helped with exposing our client’s products to more customers.
• Designed and implemented the booking module for a travel website with integrations to popular third-party travel booking supplier web services like ABCBeds, GlobeTravel, TuricoHolidays, LowCostBeds, Hotels4U, HolidayTeamFlight, HolidayTaxi, HolidayBrokers etc to provide full itinerary building capabilities
• Integrated the travel website with a payment gateway to enable safe and secure online payments.
• Lead development of a UK based travel website in ASP.net and Sitefinity CMS but without using standard heavy asp.net controls. Instead, a pseudo SPA was built using plain HTML and JavaScript relegating ASP.net to only render the initial page and serve as the REST API afterwards. This was before the popularity of ASP.net MVC
• Designed a multi-threaded module to fetch and generate a deals table using data from multiple web sources. This was combined with weather information and other details to form a comparative grid showcasing the best time in a year to visit a given destination.
