Payments & Credits: Integrate with PayPal, Stripe and other payment providers; use a credit system or advanced pricing rules, promotions, and discounts.

Integrations: Sync with Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, integrate Zoom for automatic meeting creation, connect with Dropbox for uploads, WordPress plugin, and analytics tools.

Multi-language & Time Zones: Localized interface for dozens of languages and full time zone support to handle global customers.

Access & Sharing: Embed schedules into websites, share direct booking links, or use it as a standalone scheduling page.

My Contributions

Implemented front-end UI and admin dashboard components for a scheduling interface with dynamic availability and resource management.

Built secure booking flows with real-time availability checks, payment gateway integration, and automated reminder notifications.

Integrated calendar synchronization (Google / Microsoft) and external meeting creation (Zoom) to streamline user workflows.

Developed embeddable widgets and REST endpoints for easy integration into third-party websites and WordPress installs.

Implemented localization, time-zone aware scheduling, and subscription handling to support global users.

Challenges & Solutions

Complexity of business rules (cancellations, waiting lists, overlapping resources) Solution: Design a rule engine and validate booking logic server-side with defensive checks and clear error handling.

Time zone and daylight saving handling Solution: Normalize all times to UTC on the backend while presenting localized times to users; extensive timezone tests.

Scalability and concurrency for real-time availability Solution: Use optimistic locking / transactions or queueing for booking operations, cache availability and invalidate on change.

Payment reliability and reconciliation Solution: Integrate reliable payment SDKs, reconcile via webhooks, and provide credit system fallback for offline payments.

UX for diverse industries and use-cases Solution: Provide configurable templates, themeable widgets, and progressive disclosure for advanced features.

Success Metrics

Reduced administrative scheduling time and decreased double-bookings.

Lower no-show rate after enabling automated reminders.

Increased online booking conversions when embedded in client websites or social pages.

Positive customer satisfaction scores and high trustpilot / G2 / Capterra ratings.

Tech Stack

Front-end: React, HTML5, CSS3.

Back-end: Node.js/Express or similar web framework; could also use Ruby/Python/JVM stacks.
