Software Engineer

Part of an international team of around 8-10 people, responsible of the world leading Low Fare Search (LFS) engine of airlines and travel agencies. The LFS engine objective is to provide recommendations of the best flights at the lowest possible price to the customer.Within this team, I had the opportunity to participate in all the steps of software development, from the analysis of the business need, to the tests of the new development, not forgetting the monitoring in production of the newly delivered product.I mostly worked within scrum teams, and I also had the chance to be scrum master of a team specialized in performance optimizations of the Low Fare Search Engine. In order to return the best recommendations, it has to consider millions of possible combinations of fares and flights, which cannot be explored exhaustively under a reasonable time constraints of max response time of several seconds. As the functionalities and the fares and flights content become more and more complex, our challenge is to maintain LFS engine response time under several seconds, thanks to engine architecture optimizations, developed in C and C++.
