• Designed and implemented (as part of a team) a new UI system for filtering and refining search results and implemented its usage in Hotels search, resulting in higher views of hotel details pages. This reusable system went on to be used by Flights search too.
• Led Hotels Search’s accessibility effort early on, getting it to the first internal certification level and piloting the division’s accessibility feature review process. Received the division’s Tech Impact award for accessibility improvement. Continued championing accessibility as part of an internal Working Group.
• Implemented (as part of a team) a new UI system for displaying hotels search results and details pages side by side, resulting in fewer users feeling lost and returning to the generic Google search page.
• Designed and implemented a new UI for users to report pricing issues, enabling the Pricing Accuracy team to pinpoint and fix problems in pricing data.
• Implemented SEO improvements to the hotels search results and details pages, increasing their ranking in search engine results.
• Led a “mini-team” of two other engineers when the pandemic started to keep us feeling connected despite working remotely. Held daily update meetings to see how we could help each other.
• Created an experimentation system to try out different translations for strings for different languages and locales based on the internal A/B experimentation system. Used it to improve clickthrough to booking pages by 5%. The system has been subsequently used by other engineers to make other similar improvements.
