Curriculum vitae

Carlos Olivo Senior Software Engineer

Backend engineer by trade, comfortable across the stack. I like taking a real problem from idea to production, end to end, with APIs that scale, systems that react to events and complex provider integrations.

01Journey

From a first game to products in production

  1. 01Dominican Republic · Age 14

    It started with a game.

    I taught myself to code at 14 by building a small platformer. Someone who played it referred me to the company where he worked.

  2. 02Softone · 2019

    Software a business runs on.

    My first professional work was a desktop ERP. It taught me that people depend on software every day, so it has to be clear, reliable and easy to use.

  3. 03ITelle · 2020

    Leading, shipping, operating.

    My first time leading a team, across very different projects, from publishing mobile apps to the stores to deploying them and keeping them running.

  4. 04Remote · 2022

    Going remote.

    First with Drimo and then with ListoApp (Chile), on mobile apps and platforms that serve several kinds of users on shared infrastructure.

  5. 05Georgia, United States · 2024

    A new base.

    I moved to the United States and kept building remotely, now focused on hotel connectivity at PriceTravel.

Where I've worked, and what I improved

  1. Jun 2024 – Present

    Remote · US

    PriceTravel Holding Backend Developer · Hotel Connectivity & Quoting

    Own hotel provider connectivity and the data paths behind the quoting engine, working with the quoting team on accuracy and response time.

    What I improved

    • Connected five new hotel providers, including SiteMinder and TravelClick, with rates and availability synced in real time.
    • Made the existing integrations with major industry providers, such as Hotelbeds and Expedia, more reliable.
    • Redesigned how exchange rates and promotions are calculated with a cache on AWS, which sped up quotes and reduced database load.
    • Improved currency conversion accuracy together with the quoting team.

    What I improved

    • Made serverless services on AWS start 50% faster by bundling them before deployment.
    • Designed a notification system that tells each party when something changes, without them having to check.
    • Built the backend for Sektor.app, a platform shared by insurers, providers and agents where each one sees only their own data.
    • Built the backend for Centuria.app, which organizes networks of people with different roles, their activities and their tasks.
    • Developed a real-time API in Go that gathers results from 128 sources and sends a single update per change.
    • Automated deployments to AWS from GitHub.
