PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Travelzoo Inc. Mountain View, CA

Senior Web Application Engineer June2007-Nov 2008

Travelzoo Inc., a global Internet media company, publishes travel offers from various travel companies. Its publications include Travelzoo Web sites, the Travelzoo Top 20 email newsletter, and the Newsflash email product. The company also operates SuperSearch, a pay-per-click travel search engine.

• I was mainly involved in server side/backend development.

• SuperSearch is a feature where customer can find travel, car rental and hotel deals based on cities and travel dates. I was engaged in design and developing various custom controls, primarily I was involved in writing delegates and custom events for these custom controls. We are always in the process of adding new clients and going into new countries, therefore the design accommodated these requirements and was made generic so that adding new clients was configuration change and going into new countries was adding localized content as compared to making changes when new client or countries needed to be added on business request.

• Developed the ‘Deals Near You’ feature. We used Akamai or Maxmind APIs to get the location (city, state, zip, country etc.) of the customer and then used Google APIs to show travel deals on the map near the location of the customer.

• Developed Web services to fetch recommendations from different clients for SuperSearch ads based on customer selection of cities and travel dates. Used AJAX AutoComplete control for suggesting the city and airport name as the customer types.

• Designed and developed templates and backend generic controls for different sweepstakes and competitions. The templates received localized data from the generic controls on the backend. This made it easy to create and localize sweepstakes and competitions.

• IT Tracker is an internal tool which is used by business and development team to request new projects, enhancements and tracking bug fixes. I played a key role in taking this product to the next level. It had some basic features but designed and developed multiple features so that this product can be opened to more departments. Features included different permissions based on roles defined for a user, notification emails based on status and priority of the tickets, way to create reports based on different criteria’s, tracking history of the ticket and more. IT tracker changes were well received and appreciated by business.

• Developed reporting tool to help marketing and sales people to generate reports. I was involved in writing backend code for business logic to fetch data for these reports. The report can be viewed on the web or exported in MS Excel or CSV format.

• Platform: Windows 2000/XP, ASP.NET, ASP, VB.NET, C#, ADO.NET, Java Script, TSQL, SQL Server 2000/2005
