Backend Developer & Data Engineer

Built the backend, data scraping pipeline, and geo-distance features for a travel guide platform connecting remote workers with destinations and workspaces.

Problem

Remote workers needed a reliable platform to discover travel destinations with accurate accommodation data, workspace proximity, and reviews — aggregated from multiple sources.

What I Built

  • Designed the data model and relational database schema
  • Built RESTful backend APIs for the platform
  • Developed a Python scraping pipeline to extract and clean accommodation data from Booking.com
  • Built a geo-distance calculation system to find nearest workspaces
  • Processed and structured scraped data for frontend consumption

Outcome

  • Functional travel platform with backend serving multiple frontend views
  • Automated data pipeline replacing manual research
  • Geo-distance feature providing location-aware workspace recommendations

Why It Matters

Combines full-stack engineering with data automation — scraping, cleaning, and serving real-world data through a production API.
