Technology Consultant | Ex-VP Information Technology

Turning operational complexity into simple, reliable systems

I'm Anuj Bal Dikshit, Tech Solutions Architect with 28 years in Travel, Airline, Cargo & Enterprise systems. I architect and build the back-office engines that run operations - API engines for OTAs, cargo management, tour & travel backoffices - reliably, securely and at scale.

About

Practitioner, not an agency

I work directly with business owners and operations teams - no layers. My strength is translating messy operational workflows into stable web applications that staff actually use daily. Most systems I build are back-office / internal: not public marketing sites, but the engines that manage bookings, inventory, recon, and cargo movement.

What I do well

Map business processes to data models & workflows before coding
Build backoffice systems that handle real staff load, permissions & audit
API engines & integrations - GDS, supplier APIs, internal services (see Swagger example insight)
Modernise legacy stacks incrementally without stopping operations
Advise retainership clients on architecture, vendor choices & risk

How I work

Anonymous by design - client names, URLs and exact volumes are confidential. I showcase types of problems solved, not client logos. If you need a reference, I connect you after a mutual NDA. Retainership clients get priority, project work is scoped with clear milestones.

Technology approach

Technology-agnostic. I work with your existing stack and add what moves the process forward. Recent: PHP/Laravel, Node, Python, React, MySQL/Postgres, REST/OpenAPI, AWS/GCP, Docker - chosen for fit, not fashion.

Engagement

Retainership: Ongoing architecture & enhancements
Project: Fixed scope - backoffice / API engine
Advisory: Review & roadmap (hourly)

Payment: milestones (30-50% advance). See Terms & Payment Policy.

Experience

28 years - from counter to VP IT

Progressive operational → technical → leadership path. The continuity matters: I've seen travel/cargo operations from both sides of the counter.
