A clear booking lifecycle
Built the booking-first flow, moving reservations through pending, admin review, confirmation, check-in, check-out and completion or cancellation.

THE OVERVIEW
A booking flow with the backend to match.
SmartStay Rentals connects guests with managed rental properties. The backend needed to handle more than a simple reservation: availability, review, payment and the stages of a guest's stay all had to fit together.
WHAT I WORKED ON
Availability and account flows
Created availability checks, guest booking endpoints, booking summaries and authentication with email or phone verification.
Payments tied to reservations
Integrated payment initiation and verification, webhook handling, refunds, commissions and inspection fee flows.
