One of the most demanding frontend domains in the airline industry. Worked on the ORS team building UI components for key flows — from flight search to ticket refunds — implementing API caching and auditing the codebase.
Airline booking means hundreds of fare rules, strict passenger data validation, heavy search queries, and complex operational logic — exchanges, refunds, web check-in. Any error in that chain turns into real money lost and a ruined passenger experience.
My contribution to the team's work spanned several critical areas: designing and building reusable UI components, implementing REST API data caching, and auditing key parts of the codebase — the core, data models, and Pinia stores.
Four areas of work — components, operational flows, caching, and code audit.
Designed and built complex reusable components for flight search screens, fare selection, and passenger data forms.
Implemented UI for operational flows: online flight check-in, ticket exchange and refunds, passenger personal account screens.
Implemented caching for heavy REST API requests — fewer redundant requests, faster interface response, without sacrificing data freshness.
Audited the codebase — the application core, data models, Pinia store structure. Identified bottlenecks and proposed solutions.
Concrete artifacts that keep working in the product.
Components for all key screens — booking, check-in, exchange, refunds, personal account. Typed, documented, usable by the team without a walkthrough from the author.
A caching layer for heavy requests: fewer redundant calls to the server, faster response on critical booking screens.
Documented bottlenecks in the core, data models, and Pinia stores — with concrete proposals for fixing them.
8 years in airline systems — an understanding of fare rules, validation, and ticket operations that no documentation can replace.
"Aviation doesn't forgive 'temporary solutions.' I learned to write components that don't break with the next fare rule change — and that's worth more than any refactor done for its own sake."
