Led the technical strategy, architecture, and implementation of the new platform for MapsUntold, an AI-powered personalized travel and city guide platform that delivers tailored local recommendations for food, activities, culture, and hidden gems based on user interests and preferences. The platform uses data science and machine learning to generate unique, guest-specific suggestions that feel curated and relevant, enhancing guests’ discovery experiences across hotels, vacation parks, and consumer portals.

Co-developed the full web application, backend services, and integration APIs, enabling seamless embedding into partner environments via iFrames, deep links, SDKs, and branded guest interfaces. Designed the system for scalability and real-time responsiveness, allowing partners to offer personalized city guides without heavy operational overhead. Played a key role in shaping the product vision alongside co-founders, focused on data-driven personalization, AI recommendation logic, and seamless UX for both B2B partners and end users.
