Project Overview

I played a key role in transforming GoTo Hub, Norway's leading multi-vendor tourism platform, by modernizing their technology stack and enhancing the user experience for both vendors and end-users.

Challenge

GoTo Hub needed to scale their operations while maintaining performance and user satisfaction. The existing Laravel-based admin portals were becoming difficult to maintain and extend, while the search functionality wasn't meeting the growing catalog of tourism products.

Solution

As a React developer, I:

• Led the migration of legacy Laravel admin portals to a modern React-based solution
• Implemented an advanced search system using Algolia, enabling real-time search across thousands of tourism packages
• Developed a white-label e-commerce platform that allows vendors to customize their storefronts
• Created a unified booking system handling tours, activities, and accommodations

Technical Implementation

• Frontend: React.js, Tailwind CSS
• Search: Algolia integration for lightning-fast search results
• UI/UX: Responsive design, custom theming system
• Integration: RESTful APIs, Laravel backend integration
• Tools: Git, npm, Modern JS (ES6+)

Key Features Delivered

• Custom theme editor with real-time preview
• Advanced filtering and search capabilities
• Multi-language support (English, Norwegian)
• Integrated booking and payment system
• Vendor-specific analytics dashboard

Impact

• Reduced page load time by 40% compared to the legacy system
• Increased search accuracy by 85% with Algolia implementation
• Enabled 100+ vendors to customize their storefronts
• Successfully processed 10,000+ bookings in the first quarter after launch
