About Me

With 9 years of experience spanning travel, mobility, telecom and e-commerce domains, I've had the privilege of working with diverse teams and solving complex challenges. Currently pursuing a PGP in AI & ML from the University of Texas at Austin โ€” covering Deep Neural Networks, Machine Learning, NLP and Computer Vision. In an era where the line between engineering and intelligence is blurring, I equip myself to go from ideation to implementation across the full spectrum. I don't just write code โ€” I craft solutions that are elegant, maintainable and built to outlast the time they were shipped in.

Senior Software Developer

Travix (Trip.com), Amsterdam, Netherlands

Worked as a Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) at Travix (Trip.com) in Amsterdam.

I led the development of ML-powered features on the Extras (DPO) page, enhancing product relevance through optimized placement logic and mock data integration. I also built the Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) feature from scratch, empowering users with flexible cancellation options and boosting booking confidence. Additionally, I modernized legacy ancillary products like Insurances and Refund Protect to improve performance and cross-browser reliability.

As a senior developer, I spearheaded the migration to React 18+ in a large mono-repo, improving application stability and modernizing the tech stack as well as presented the possibility to systematically migrate to Micro-Frontends as a POC.

January 2023 - January 2025

Master's in Computer Science

Woolf University, Malta

Completed my Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science at Woolf University.

The curriculum emphasized core areas such as Data Structures, DBMS, High-Level and Low-Level System Design (HLD & LLD), and Full Stack Development with a strong focus on scalability, performance, and security.

To complement my software engineering skill set and stay AI-ready, I've built hands-on experience with modern Data Engineering tools and systems. This includes working with the Hadoop Ecosystem, Apache Hive, AWS Redshift for data warehousing, and Data Lakes. I've also utilized Apache Spark (DataFrame API) for large-scale data processing, orchestrated ETL pipelines using Apache Airflow, and developed real-time monitoring dashboards. These capabilities strengthen my ability to develop data-driven applications and support intelligent, high-performance systems end-to-end.

The Product Management module featured insightful case studies of tech giants like Google, Meta, and Apple, and explored the bold strategies of rising unicorns. The emphasis? Learn from the billion-dollar blunders others have already paid forโ€”and have the freedom to make newer, smarter ones. It offered a sharp blend of legacy lessons and startup experimentation, sharpening both strategic thinking and execution.

These were built using Micro Frontends with Webpack Module Federation, integrated into an existing React monolith.

I also led the upgrade of the codebase to React 17, ensuring forward compatibility and improved performance.
