The Challenge

Routescanner provides route planning tools for the global container shipping industry, processing millions of schedules from carriers worldwide. The platform needed a highly performant GIS environment capable of handling complex geographic queries, while integrating and cleansing data from dozens of different maritime data sources with varying formats and quality.

My Contribution

Led the fullstack development team, taking ownership of both the React/Remix frontend and the Node.js backend services. Redesigned the GIS environment using Mapbox combined with proprietary geo-search algorithms, dramatically improving the accuracy and speed of route calculations.

Streamlined the integration pipeline for global maritime schedules, building automated cleansing and normalization processes that reduced data onboarding time. Introduced structured code review practices and mentored junior developers on TypeScript best practices and testing strategies.

Key Results

  • Optimized GIS environment with sub-second geographic queries across millions of data points
  • Reduced maritime schedule data onboarding time through automated cleansing pipelines
  • Improved frontend performance and user experience for route planning workflows
  • Established code quality standards and review processes for the development team
