Palak Garg

I’m a Laravel / PHP Full-Stack Developer with 4+ years of experience architecting and shipping backend systems for booking platforms, multi-vendor marketplaces, and payment-driven applications handling real transaction volume. I take pride in owning features end-to-end—from requirements and architecture through implementation and delivery.

In my recent role, I architected and built core backend modules and admin functionality for a boat rental and booking platform, including calendar-based availability by location, date, and subscription plan. I designed a dynamic, rule-based pricing engine that adjusts booking rates by season, demand, and live weather conditions, integrating a third-party weather API to trigger price changes, booking holds/cancellations, and refund workflows.

I also integrated multi-gateway payments—Stripe, Google Pay, Apple Pay, wallet payments, plus Google/Apple login—along with document upload and invoice generation to streamline checkout and reduce payment failures. On top of that, I implemented automated email and notification workflows for booking reminders, review requests, and weather-triggered cancellation alerts.

Across projects, I’ve built REST APIs and admin-side capabilities for multi-language, multi-currency commerce and delivery platforms (including COD/Paystack payments and push notifications), plus delivery tracking and ETA to improve customer order visibility. Earlier, I developed Laravel-based client websites, built a Shopify-integrated restock-alert application with notification workflows, and delivered ERP-style modules like school records, attendance, and fee management—always with clear client communication and coordinated team execution.
