Trippy Find

Scope

A travel planning REST API built on Node.js and Express, integrating the Amadeus Travel API for real-time flight and hotel data across 150,000+ properties. Awarded Gold at SummerBuild 2025.

Built like a production service, not a demo

The distinguishing work was treating a hackathon backend as something that had to survive contact with real traffic:

• Security middleware — Helmet.js and CORS configured deliberately
• Comprehensive error handling and health monitoring endpoints
• Performance — response compression and caching
• PostgreSQL on Supabase, schema designed for query performance

Features

Multi-destination route optimisation, geolocation-based search, real-time flight tracking, user preference management, and analytics tracking — over JWT-authenticated endpoints.
