Context
GoRealTravel is a travel management platform with a Ruby on Rails backend and an Angular frontend. I joined in September 2023 as a full-stack developer and lead backend development, which includes upgrading the legacy Rails codebase while the product stays live, and running the AWS infrastructure it deploys to.
What I built
- Subscription gates that control access to paid features
- Itinerary tracking, with Redis caching on the Rails backend
- HubSpot CRM integration and SEO editing workflows
- An in-place upgrade of the legacy Rails backend, with Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus) for server-rendered UI
- AWS infrastructure on EC2, Docker-based deployments and automated CI/CD pipelines
