The Challenge
Platform slowing down as users grew
A UK-based tourist platform was growing. But as more users joined, the cracks started showing. Pages were taking longer to load. API responses were lagging. The experience was getting worse exactly when it should have been getting better.
Travelers relying on the app were noticing. And the team needed someone to come in, find the bottlenecks, and fix them without disrupting anything else.
What I Did
Led the backend performance improvement from diagnosis to deployment
- Analysed slow APIs and identified the exact bottlenecks causing response lag
- Restructured backend logic to remove inefficiencies that had been compounding over time
- Optimised database queries that were the primary cause of slow page loads
- Fixed inefficient code across the critical paths that affected user-facing performance
- Managed smooth deployment of all changes without disrupting live user traffic
The Results
65% faster APIs. 60% faster page loads.
65%
