Travel Search Engine with Admin Pricing Control & Spreadsheet-Like Backend
Custom-built cruise search platform with Excel-style admin tooling and real-time pricing automation
A travel CEO engaged me to build a web-based cruise search engine capable of handling complex search criteria like departure port, destination, cabin size, cruise length, balcony availability, price tiers, and promotional offers. On the backend, I engineered a robust admin interface that allowed business staff to control pricing logic, normalize cruise line data, and manage markups—all without touching code.
- Smart Data Import: Parsed Excel files from major cruise lines, converting industry-specific codes and abbreviations into user-friendly terms via custom rule sets.
- Admin Spreadsheet UI: Built a responsive SPA that mimicked Excel—complete with formula-driven fields (e.g.,
O=N+K
,Q=P-O
) to automate pricing logic and flag missing or inconsistent data. - Price & Visibility Controls: Enabled admins to set wholesale markups, apply blackout rules, and manage inventory exposure with fine-grained control.
- Search Normalization Engine: Created translation tables for destinations, port names, ship codes, and amenities, ensuring consistent search results regardless of source format.
- Real-Time Frontend Search: Built a fast, user-friendly search interface for consumers to filter cruise results by key criteria and see accurate, up-to-date pricing.
