I build and maintain revenue-critical systems: checkout, pricing, booking and finance integrations. I take hard production problems through root-cause investigation, remediation and verification, and I make established codebases safer to change through testing, tooling and modernisation.

Currently at Rabbie's, working on a Laravel/Statamic CMS, a Nuxt storefront, checkout and the integration with the company's booking system.

Full-stack engineering on a Laravel / Statamic CMS, Nuxt / Vue storefront, checkout and shared Vue component library for a travel and tour operator, integrated with the company's booking system, Stripe and third-party services.

Investigation and reliability

• Pricing integrity: Led root-cause analysis of pricing and currency inconsistencies spanning the storefront, CMS, checkout and booking system. I added structured diagnostics, established which system each discrepancy came from, fixed the website side with regression tests, and wrote the QA scenarios used for verification.
• Production diagnostics: Investigated complex production and integration failures, identifying root causes and delivering verified improvements to error handling, diagnostics and resilience, on both sides of the booking-system integration.
• Publishing reliability: Improved content-publishing reliability and cache consistency across regional websites, supported by regression tests.

Commerce, content and SEO

• Hotel-and-tour packages: Integrated room-availability, pricing and capacity APIs with typed DTOs, immutable dates, validation and safeguards for concurrent bookings.
• Checkout and integrations: Payment-processing feedback, marketing-consent options and simpler add-on selection; Zoho forms with secure embedding, consent-gated third-party scripts, Trustpilot reviews and analytics tagging.
• Localisation and versioning: Scoped per-region spelling localisation (e.g. UK → US) with stakeholders and took it from proof of concept to production across GraphQL and REST content, with documentation for development, QA and editors. Added revision history with retention safeguards that protect published content.
• SEO, search and frontend: Sitemaps per currency and locale, same-region search results, clean pagination URLs and structured data; navigation redesign in the shared Vue 3 component library, responsive images and hydration fixes.

Delivery quality and team enablement

• Optimised PHPUnit test execution and memory usage through framework lifecycle improvements and stronger test isolation, making the suite substantially faster and stable within a standard memory limit.
• Resolved CI reliability issues and strengthened dependency validation and security maintenance; delivered upgrades with rollback plans and verification checklists, and triaged error monitoring into prioritised fixes.
• Created a shared Bruno API collection and documentation for the team's interconnected services, added stable Cypress selectors to key journeys, and wrote deployment steps and QA scenarios. I clarified acceptance criteria with product and split cross-team issues into scoped follow-ups.
